If I'm correct, (which is rare) my '92 245 only has a single, rear fog light on the drivers side. is there a practical way to have both sides light up like the earlier years? I think it's a neat feature, however the single light looks foolish to me.

Before anyone jumps me about how Audi and Porsche only run a single red light, I know, and it still looks goofy.

Thanks!!!

Isn't it a reversing light? Another one can be connected by using side-by-side joiners and connecting it into the existing wiring. All wiring should be secured up to the body and not hang down where it can snag. NB the casing is Earthed, and if 2 wires are needed/available, DON"T mix them up.

Thats weird, my 85 245 wagon lights up both sides and my 87 240 also had 2 rear fogs. Bet the bulb is in the passenger side also, may just need to sire it up.

So did I, But on one of the year-by-year change lists I found, it claimed to go to a single light in '91. I guess I should stop being so d**n lazy an start digging around back there. I'll let you know what I find!

on the 850, both sides have power but there was a piece of plastic blocking off access to the socket. 30 seconds later, spiiting out the plastic piece, i now have two fogs back there. wait, that didn't sound right.

Ugh- there's a bulb in there... and the filament looks good. So my wagon DOES have both rear fog lights.

(just like other people said)

Now I just need to check the bulb, holder, and the the wiring between the left light and the right... <_<
