Default Front fogs not working

Hi guys,

I recently bought myself a wr1 and found that the front fog lights don't work. Yes, I do have the headlights on. I press the switch and it doesn't light up nor does the symbol light on the dash. It's unlikely that both bulbs would go and the fuse is good, so I would say it can only be the relay or the switch. So my questions are, where is the relay located and how do I test it? And, once I have the switch out how do I test that?

Also, if anyone has a good condition l/h PIAA front fog light for a wr1 at a reasonable price, I'd be interested to hear from you.

Many thanks, Will.

Piaa's weren't fogs, they were driving lights, and were wired to come on with main beam?


The OE fogs were branded SUBARU.

As above the WR1 has driving lights.
They will be, AFAIK, rewired similar to the driving light kits supplied by Prodrive..........

Thanks guys, got them working, genuinely thought they were fogs so only tried on dip, but now we're good to go! Thanks again, Will.

LOL, at least they are of use now. The fogs are a waste of space.
