DodgyRog Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I have just brought my Supra home from it's winter sleep and for some reason the Front Fogs are not working The Headlights have been put back in today, but I have checked the Fuse in the engine bay fuse box and it is fine, is there anything else it could be, just would be a bit odd if it's both bulbs at exactly the same time I am useless when it comes to Electrics, especially random things Any help appreciated, please explain in DumDum mode:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 They only work when the others are turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 fog lights only work when the side lights are on, he must of known that :O# check the voltage on the lights when they are turned on. there is a small grey plastic clip that connects to the light, one of the pins are the positive for the fog lights. the side lights use the same earth wire. see if its triggering, if its not the bulb it will help you make sure its the system. then you can trace it further back the line.

DodgyRog Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 I knew about needing the lights on, but thanks anyway lol I don't have a volt meter, I think I may have one of of those screwdrivers with a bulb in somewhere, I guess that will be okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 it will at least show u if the circuit is working at that point. after that, you need to find the fuse and check the point there. as well as checking the fuse itself. ur super driver shud work there also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulley Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 When your sitting in car, turn sidelights on, then switch fogs on and off and listen for the relay to click, that will rule out your switch and relay side of things mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 Well it was the bulbs (well done Brendan) they look fine with the naked eye though. Odd for both to go at the same time, but it gave me the kick up the bottom to fit the HID fogs I have had sat in the cupboard for about 2 years:rolleyes: So I now have the full set of HID's with LED sidelight:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
