Hi,
I had an ‘84 Targa many years. Loved that it had front independent Fog Lights.
I presently have a 2010 997.2. Is there a kit or aftermarket product for fitting Fog Lights to the front of the car?
I feel they’re helpful on the road.
Thanks!

Fond memories of stand alone Cibie and other fog lamps that I used many years ago. Great times!

I'm sure there are several different manufacturers around but I haven't a clue as to what's good nor what would look right and also work with your 2010 but I'm sure there is something out there.

Hopefully someone here will have some ideas and can chime in.

The 997.2 has such good headlights, you would not even notice if fog lights are on or off. That's why these cars don't need fog lights. On the classic 911 with the sugar scoop headlight you would see a difference with fog lights on or off. However, if you upgrade the headlight of the classic 911 with LED headlights, it's the same situation, you would not see a difference with fog lights on or off. Therefore there is no need for them.

Hope this helps.

Well then, I guess there is no need for them. I always felt I’d get more of the side of the road lit up with the stand alone fog lights on.
Thanks
