Question Rear Fog Install Help

Hi all,

Right so went for mot and i aint got a rear fog which i didnt realise, looked to see if there was any wiring for one of those under bumper thingy's and there isnt so ive managed to get hold of a uk rear cluster and rear fog light switch,

Now i have 6 wires coming out of the switch they are:

Black
Brown
White
Orange
Blue w/yellow stripe
Yellow w/blue stripe

So what do they all do and where do i wire them into

Cheers

Rich

Same problem as you...

Failed my last 3 MOTs how it is now (fog light fitted below rear bumper and switch on dash but no wires!!!)

They then pass it without fixing it?

Must be a ****e job! Got my next MOT in a weeks time and have to go to a diifferent garage

Might not be as easy going this time
