MY98 - PIAA Lights - How do they work?
Have a MY98 as of yesterday which has had the PIAA driving lights fitted (replacing the fog lights). I've a new button inside the car fixed to the dash below the existing fog light buttons.
However, it doesn't turn the lights on. Is there some combination of buttons I need (eg, headlights + fog lights + PIAA switch) before the lights will actually come on?
I think there is probably a fault - where should I look if not the bulbs?

No wonder it's not working - never though to do this. I assume this means you don't drive around with them on all the time ????

Still a little confused.

Anyway, it seems that the only way to figure this out is to fiddle about with the switches, see what works. As above, most people have wired the front fog switch to control the driving lamps, in a way that allows the driver to determine whether or not they come on when main beam is engaged.
