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:confused:

Cheers

Rich

Rich_wrex 09 January 2009 01:39 PM

So you havent got any wires to the connector at the back for the fog light?

Rich_wrex 09 January 2009 08:13 PM

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 :confused:

Might not be as easy going this time :brickwall

i wired daz and mintys up, there wires are there just a case of finding it by wiring into the correct one and have have a mate inside car turning fog on off etc. il pm daz and minty for u and get them to take a pic of what i done, and which wire i taped into. to find the wire i removed the switch and and found the wire i needed. i made a small rif, or a bulb and 2 wires and connected to the terminals behind the switch untill it all worked fine, then noted the cooloyurs and found them in wire loom bk of car. white and blue is familliar and then earth, but hold fire and il get a pic asap.

you located near south wales at all, id do it for u then.
