back of fog light?
 
I have a fog light i want to attach but i only have the switch and it clearly needs some sort of plug that you wire into. anyone know what it is i need?? and anyone got one?!!

I need to rumage in the garage but I may have a spare connector.
Other option is to solder the wires to the pins in the switch.

You also need to look at your switch to see what end type it is.
Theres two - one with a offset slide / guide & one with a central slide / guide.

If it's got round pins then a very effective bodge can be done with a block of those straight through electrical connectors. Not sure what they're really called but I call them choclate block connectors. They come in various sizes for different size wires in rows of ten from any electrical place.

Cut them into individual blocks and use the screw on one end to attach to the pins and the screw the other end to attach the wire. Much easier, less messy and more easily reversible than soldering. Job done.
