hwk73 that is true about the Oktoberfest Schwaben vs Bayern but less we forget they have their own fest at the exact same time in Stuttgart. Smaller, fewer drunk tourist and of course not as good beer but none the less it still a great time!

WHAT!? I didn't know either and will probably forget before the next brake job.

Yes. If you turn the key in the ignition, put it in gear and give it some gas, it makes you smile.
Also, you can get one for way less than 30 large, and only your fellow Rennlisters will know the difference between it and a 2007 997.

I wired up them together so both come on now:

I also bought an extra "threaded bolt for assembly wheels" P/N 999.571.074.30 to keep in my toolbox. It is invaluable in removing the wheels or lining them up on installation.
BTW, some extra trivia is that the threads on the Porsche are the same as on my Audis and VWs so this bolt works on them as well.

About those "threaded bolt for assembly wheels" - when you have the PCCB setup, you automatically get two of them. You really don't want to bonk the ceramic rotor with a wheel. $$$

But on to your question about the lights. It is probably best if you take a look at your own Porsche's taillights at night. The inboard lamps are the taillights, and the outboard lamps are the rear fog lamps. Refer to your owners manual on how to turn them on.
Since the rear fog lamps are the same brightness as your brake lights, here in the US, only the left light is wired so as not to confuse someone behind you that you are braking. I have wired the left rear fog lamp to the right one so that both are powered as they are in Europe.
But remember they are only for driving in fog so the car behind you can see you, hence the name "fog" light.
There is almost nothing more retarded than someone driving down the road in clear weather with their front fog lights on. The only thing more retarded is for them to have the rear fogs on or refusing to yield the left lane!

Mine both come on (outboard lights, little -194 bulbs) with just the headlight switch turned to the right, not even pulling the switch aft. Did someone wire mine direct with the switch I wonder?!

Here is an example:
Rear Fog light off:

Rear Fog light on:

The lights in the rear reflector are (from outboard to inboard)
side marker
Rear fog
Reverse light
Brake/taillight
and on top-turn signal
