Default Frog light ?

My '86 951 has frog lights that look like a frog light/driving light combo...about 12" wide. Only half lights up when I turn the switch on. Is the other half just some type of diffuser or am I missing something?

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question...I'm new to the car.

The frogs come out in the fog. I bought the car for frog hunting. They taste better than chicken.

yes, its just a reflector on the other side. the euro foglights have a driving light in the other side. You can buy the euro lenses and wire harness kit at a few vendors.

in the light panel there is provision for another bulb to screw in on each side; i put an appropriate bulb there and jumped some power off the other bulb and now they both light up.
