Rear Fog Light Bulb
#16
Is that opposite side just the 'spare holder'?

Heh? Blown tail light.. if you have the headlights on, both tail-lights are illuminated.. easy enough to see.
Press on the brakes, all 3 brake lights come on. Easy to see.
Was his issue (it seems so) only that you had one light on one side, without a corresponding equal light on the other side?
I mean, how would he right that up - a blown light that I'm not sure what it is as I verified the tail and brake lights are working?

Passenger side fog light socket has a bulb...but no power ever gets to it.

Even if they do that so one can reconfigure the fog light feature in the computer to determine which lights come on or not.. to install a part that isn't needed is very un-Porsche, given their bespoke solutions to everything else (wiring harnesses, PCM components, etc).

Power does get to the right side fog socket. Both sides also act as the parking lights. Both fog lights and brake lights are the same bulbs. They both have a low setting and a bright setting. When you turn on the fog light or step on the brake, the bright setting is activated. I had a "brake light out" warning light and realized the low setting still worked. It was late enough at night that I couldn't get a replacement so I simply changed the bulb with the right fog bulb and everything worked fine.

Ah, ok. That makes sense.. its not a separate bulb, just the activation of a separate filament in an existing bulb. Though I'd think if the rear fog and brake are the same bulb, then if you are in the places with dual rear fog illumination, seeing when the brakes are applied relies entirely on the 3rd brake light, which sounds risky.
