New Shape Front Fog Light Installation HELP

[dandemann8]

Finally got my hand's on a complete set including mounting bracket's of OE front fog lights , now here's where I could do with abit of help please as anybody got any photo's of the mounting bracket's in position I'm hoping to fit them this weekend so any help would be very much appreciated. Before fitting though the blanks on the bumper need to be cut out correctly to allow fitment. I'm thinking of wiring them up to work off a switch instead of the main beam.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Foglamps should be wired to come on when you use your dipped headlights - Spotlamps should be wired to come on with the mainbeam. Wire the foglamps through a relay and a switch - There was a thread many moons ago about wiring foglamps up with a diagram showing how to wire the relay. Some one will hopefully be able to do a link to the thread for you - cos I can`t. I did wire my own up following the diagram - Only took about an hour.

Can't help with fitting them in I'm afraid but I think you'll find that running from a switch is an MOT requirement. Hooked to main beam is a

Cheer's MM, when I say I've got some I mean they are in transit from Bell Hill as we speak

[mister munkey]

They're the experts to speak to as to stuffing them in Duncan, if no-one else on here can assist quickly enough.

front and rear fog lights are only supposed IN FOG, strictly speaking they should not be used at other times, therefore they must be wired in with a independent switch

if they come on with other lights = MOT failure, unless you,re lucky and they decide not to notice

Duncan dont know if these will help

Colin your a star, thank you

Glad to help mate that what we do aint it

Right next step is to cut away the bumper but not quite sure so here's a couple of picture's with one a possible cut line. I only get one shot at this so need to get it right first time.





The first picture show's the blank and the second the possible cut line.

Any advice would be very helpfull

No expert myself but i would cut to the inside and rasp away afterwards. Can keep taking away but hard to add on.

Couldn't agree more, not sure if the hole is needed Looking at the picture Colin's posted it look's like all the blank is removed
