Mike_Mac Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 My car is currently running the inner two brake lights as fogs via a crappy little switch under the dash. The bulb blown indicator also is permanently on. While the dash is in bits I want to sort this out and would like some help with the following: 1. Rewire rear fogs so that the bulb blown warning works. - I think I just need to wire in 4xparallel resistors from ground to pin 87 on one of the relays, but where are the relays normally located - Behind the dash? I can't find any helpful diagrams. 2. Install a UK Rear Fog Switch (with multiplug) to existing wiring. - I can get the switch and hopefully the loom, but which wires do I need to connect to my current improvised fog light wiring? 3. Modify Fuel/Temp gauge to display Fog Light warning. - Digsy has already done this here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=3185&highlight=Fog+light I have a spare gauge at home and am willing to give it a go. I'd be looking to stick with my existing J-Spec lights, so don't need to wire in the UK ones, but I'd really appreciate a quick text or chat about how to do the dashboard side if possible Digsy? I know it's a lot of info requested, but i'd really appreciate a hand with these points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 1.) I have my resistors wired in, in the boot. If you are using the Pete Betts TRL fog conversion. however be aware that one member had his resistors overheat and "catch fire" I'm not sure what the cause was, but please keep an eye on them. 2.) I haven't a clue, but would like to know 3.) Same - keep us up to date with your progress. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Mac Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Cheers Pixelfill. Having had a chance now to look at what I have reference point 3. I've realised the only way to get an fog indicator on the gauge is to lose either the 'Cruise' or 'slip off' indicators, which I don't want. Therefore I hace two options: Use the bulb blown warning as a fog light indicator. Does anyone have the wiring diagram for that, as the Morris addition to Pete Betts' one didn't make sense to me? Or, Put the fog indicator in one of the spare slots next to the oil warning lights, but again my wiring knowledge stops at putting new stuff in, so does anyone have any advice?

Mike_Mac Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 RIGHT... I've just stripped out my existing Foglight conversion and it is using no relays at all. I have drawn a quick sketch of what's in there, which is attached. WTF is that blue cable all about and is it safe, usable etc? Also I have now found the diagram to use the bulb blown light as foglight indicators, but there is no clue as to what relay I need. Anyone got an idea?

Mike_Mac Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Bump!! Someone must have done the blown bulb to foglight indicator conversion here...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
