For anyone contemplating adding rear fog lights to their cars (this applies to North America cars as rear fogs were standard on ROW cars), you can use part no. 680 4212 from Napa Auto Parts. The details of the install are on p-car.com, but for the actual light bulb socket, it only mentions using a generic Nissan socket but no part number is mentioned.

I couldn't find anything searching in the 993 or 964 archives, but eventually found a mention of part 680 3296 in the 928 archives and thought I'd give it a shot. With some minor trimming on one of the tabs, the socket fit great and only needs a thin gasket to make sure it's watertight. Most of the sockets you see at AutoZone or Napa have 3 tabs set 120 degrees apart, but you actually need only 2 tabs set 180 degrees apart.

With 2 bulbs (part no. HP 2057), the total came out to a whopping $11. Anyways, thought I'd pass this along to save anyone time in searching for the right part.

I added brake lights to the rear fog slots in my car. I found a socket that required minimal trimming at AutoZone. The socket said "Primary Application: GM vehicles 1996-89" (not a typo, that's what it reads).

It also required bulb number 3157.

Manufacturer was Dorman, part number was 85881.

Think I trimmed one tab, and used silicone during install to keep the water out.

I also have extra brake lights in those sockets. Used the OEM bulb holders from the reverse lights. Got the harness from another Rennlister.

I am bumping this up because I am looking for a "donor harness" for a rear fog light conversion. Please PM me if you have one.

THanks

Our friend Tore has the entire conversion kit ready to install, all top quality, perfect fit: https://www.bergvillfx.com/products/...conversion-kit

His kit includes LED bulbs, so it is much brighter than the stock brake lights. I converted all the brake lights, including the CHMSL to LED--now my brake lights are as bright as any of the new cars, hard to miss seeing.

As Tore pointed out, if you convert to all LED brake lights, you will need to install his Smart Ballast to keep the cruise control working.

Thanks for the tip. It looks like I found some old sockets in my garage that could be leftovers from a conversion that I did from a donor cable on my 993 Cabrio. I have no clue if they would fit but it is good to know that Tore would be the next option

THANKS Rennlist
