Reverting to stock foglights issue.
I recently got a UK Impreza Turbo (my00) which had a set of PIAA 80XT driving lamps fitted. After one stopped working, I did a few searches and found that many people have the same issue, that they rust and leak badly. I don't like the look of them anyway so just got a set of standard fogs.
Now, I know that there is a PIAA harness in my engine bay wired directly to the battery and has proprietary connectors for the 80XTs. I thought these had replaced the original fog light connectors, but I found the original connectors intact tucked neatly away in the bumper, taped up. I thought okay, this should be much easier, and plugged them in, only to find they don't work. The foglight switch doesn't light up, and I didn't expect it to because the harness wired the driving lights to go on with full beam Already contacted PIAA, and Prodrive but neither have the instructions, which is always good :Suspiciou. Could anybody advise how to go about restoring the factory foglight circuit/what to look for when removing the harness or failing that, anybody have the instructions for the lamps for reversal? Thanks in advance for any assistance :) |
Guess the relay has probably been removed and the switch may have even been disconnected. Found this that may be of some use to trace the wiring through:

you might find some info in this thread (fitting of PIAA 89xt)

Pretty sure the fitting of the PIAA's involved cutting a wire somewhere, but since I made up my own harness for my Hella 1000FF HID's, I'm unsure.

Below is the Front Fog wiring for a UK (RHD) MY97
The MY00 shouldn't be too dissimilar http://clarkdh.net23.net/NTL/classic%20front%20fogs.jpg The fuse/s as well as the relay may have been removed. |
Thanks for all your replies, I'm going to try to find out if the relay is missing and the fuses. I'll update when I figure it out!
Thanks again :) |
