Question From Fogs to Spots HELP.

Hi Guys need some help.

I have replaced my front fog lights with spots on MY96 UK Classic.

At the mo they only work on the fog light switch, is it poss to take a feed from the main beam switch to power the fog relay ?

Cheers Red.

If you've fitted driving lights, they must, BY LAW, only be selectable when main beam is selected, ie: they can come on when main beam does, and cannot when main beams aren't selected.

Tey MUST also go out when main beam switches off.

Wiring is easy on a classic and a bit harder on new age cars, but still relatively simple.

Use of two relays, and a bit of extra wire makes them controlled by the foglight switch so you don't HAVE to have them when main beams come on, eg: round town.

Sent you a couple via e-mail.

Forgot to say: simple method requires you to buy one relay, foglight switch method needs two.
Try and get relays with fuses on them, the relays need to be 4, or 5 terminal on/off relays. Helfords, car shops etc.

Fuse values:2 x55W: 15A (10A maybe)
2 x100W: 20A
2 x 130W: 25A
