I suspect that may be a change from the earlier days. I know for a fact that two was code. But, time marches on! PErhaps they wish to conform to the rest of the world!

Can someone explain why the 997.2 turbo/turbo s still has front fog lights and the rest of the 997.2 911 models all have proper DRL which are the turn signal and function as the DRL?

Running 24-7 with front mounted fog lights on is one of my many pet peeves. My Mother does it and every time I am near her car I reach in and turn them off. She claims that she doesn't leave them on all the time yet after I turn them off, the next time I see her, they will be on again.

I should just disconnect them. She probably wouldn't even notice. They certainly don't prevent her from hitting stuff.

Please alert us when she is on the road so we can avoid driving in the Raleigh area at the same time!
