Sheefa Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hi all Recently fitted some facelift rears to my UK car and now the rear fog lights don't work when switched on. I've done a bit of a search but can't find a definitive guide on upgrading lights specifically on a UK CAR as obviously the fog light switch and wiring is already there as standard. I don't think i need to get as complicated as the enclosed to rectify...... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?80479-Fog-Light-Conversions-for-beginners Help! Thanks Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Greg, can't you use the existing cable from the fog light button, and alter the loom to use the inside brake light as a fog light on either side as they are dual element bulbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate Thank you I'll give this a bash I guess. If not I'll just find a friendly MOT man Edited April 24, 2016 by Sheefa (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Might be worth pm'ing Si/Heckler Greg, I'd guess the pcb that he sells would do the job for you but would be worth checking with him as I'm sure he'll know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Could modify the Rear light loom. If you can release one of the pins in the loom that exits the car, basically move the pin for the reverse light to match the fog light wire already in the loom. Or you take your old UK spec loom and cut the plug off with som tails and then re-solder is so that it doesn't have a reverse on one side and is now a fog You would have to run a red bulb but no problem there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thanks Jim, don't really want to start hacking at the stock fog loom if I can help it. Could modify the Rear light loom.
