George, I'm sure US p10-s have a place for a rear fog light bulb (see my previous post). You can install them, with a little bit (right!) of wiring job.

P.S. Is that DET under the hood yet?

I just checked. USDM tail lights do not have a place for rear fogs.

The DET will go in next trip into the garage or the one after that (probably the one after that). It's so BLOODY hot that I cannot stay out there for too long at a time without getting ill. Last Sunday my helper and I both passed out from the heat.

I need to take the engine off the stand, install the JWT flywheel and clutch, and attach the gearbox. That's it.

Then I have to bolt it in, connect the wiring harnesses, and fab the IC piping.

Rear fog lights are nice and all when it's foggy, but remember to turn them off when they're not needed. Have some consideration.

Pardon me, just preachin'...

Ayyup.

So, George, are you serious about European tail lights? And do you really want clear ones? I think our red P10 (yes, my car can be considered the twin brother of yours, only /duh!/ with different names) look good with yellows... You can email me at ales.ee

I am serious, but not at this time. With the DET install, I'm going to need some time to recover financially and otherwise. Between $250 to replace broken parts, and another $100 or so for parts, services, and tools needed, the tail lights will just have to wait a bit.

I agree about the amber lenses. I actually like them and am not really into the clear lens thing. That's probably because when I first started driving, having the amber lenses was the cool thing.

I really want the rear fogs though and integrated ones are the way to go.

Another note on the DET install.....

It didn't go in yesterday. When I was attempting to install the clutch and pressure plate, I discovered the rear of the crank had a metal piece inserted into it that prevents the clutch from contacting the flywheel. Since it was our Independence Day holiday yesterday, I couldn't find any place with a pilot bearing puller (the tool I need to remove this piece). So, I spent the time pulling the front end off the car.

It was still progress, but it would have been nice to weld up IC pipes since I had someone who could weld helping me.

good to hear that you are rolling with your install...my motor is still sitting on the stand. only thing i've done to it so far, besides making it brand new looking, is a greddy oil cap and nology wires for the BB from Japan...still waiting on the plugs...need money!!!

...speaking of dummy buttons...anyone know what might go in the blank area directly under the power mirror control (right mirror) and adjacent to the dash dimmer light switch on an '01?

On my father's P10 the left one is for the fog lights and the right one is for....(wait for this !!)...An air purify system that sits up in the back parcel tray !!!

LOL...well, I'm glad you clarified that for me..because since this thread was started I didnt have a clue what was being referred to. I'll accept the "dummy" award if so deserved this time...but, the wording of the original post was about a '94, and really didnt make any sense when compared to the layout on my '01. And no.. I haven't a clue if they are the same or not....why would they be? I'd assume not, if asked outright and to guess.
First... the hazard and defrost buttons are "in between" and not below the vents as stated...my fog lite switch is on the stalk, and there are no buttons under the vent on the far right passenger side. For all I knew.. you all seemed to be talking about the dummy space in the panel housing between the air recirc button and the up/down temp adjustment buttons.
So.. all this said, at least anyone that really cares will now be fully aware of what we are talking about...I think..lol.
Hmmm...some good ideas tho, stated for the use of that spot as a switch for something. Personally, I'd prefer it to wire it so as to activate a sliding partition between the driver and passenger.. like for those long rides when the wife starts getting on my nerves...

Here is what the buttons on a (my) P10 look like. Remember, no front fogs on the car
