Just purchased a 1999 Carrera Cabriolet had a PPI on it and the horn and right rear side marker light did not work. The tech repaired the horn replacing airbag retaining frame, He pulled the right and left rear lights out and said it was the wrong right light for a 99 and the wrong part number (996-631-496-00) it has no hole for the running light ???  the left light (996-631-415-00 had a small hole with a bulb in it.  what gives ??? both lens are in great shape.  a good used one w/a harness is around $700 YIKES ! How did the right side parking light work without the bulb hole.    anybody out have any ideas to get it to lite without buying a whole light assembly.       Thanks blee       tried to upload photos to large max is only 2MB

Maybe he was confusing the rear fog light? The left side has it, the right shouldn't. Can't remember if the right has the hole for it or not
