Gray market 1984 Carrera rear light

[kniejadlik]

Have a great market 1984 911 with a red rear light below the bumper on the driver's side. What is it for?

It's a rear fog light. Common in Europe. It should only light up with the front fogs.

The fog light switch may be a two-stage switch (similar to rear defogger/defroster).
Pull for front fogs on, right/left for rear.

All Euro spec cars must have a rear fog light, if its a 'gray' you should have 2 fog switches like this, green = front, yellow = rear

If mine is on, people always tell me that I have a tail light out. Another reason to be pulled over too. I just leave it off, and I don't think I've driven mine in the fog.

My Euro (through Belgium) has only one switch, as steve says. To turn on the rear fog, you rotate it. Cheers

Must be a 'year' thing all these previous owned ones had this config; German LHD 86 3.2, ROW LHD 91 964, RHD 94 993

Yeah probably, mine is an 85, later models also have two fogs at the back instead of the one I have. Cheers
