yeah thats a nice 944, how do you have it setup? what did you do to the ride height and where did you get the rear bumper? ive seen some people say theirs is a euro but it doesnt look like that, yours looks like a real euro bumper to me... looks nice, need more pics of it from all angles in its current condition (your gallery has old pics)

So bascically you just switch euro model drivinglight on. US models driving light is here a brakelight. US models brakelight is here in europe rear foglight.
That's a VW unit Golf (Rabbit I to you) used the same socket. Also late rear engined Transporters had it. You should get those from local VW parts store for few Cents each.
Looks like a euro bumper without the rubber stripe.
Where did you guys get the extra plastic socket piece to put a bulb in the open spot on the metal grounding panel?

Yes I did, used two slotted L brackets on each side so its adjustable. I'd like to find a real euro smooth bumper as I'm afraid of being rear-ended with this set up.
