Fog Light

[Grizzly]

mmmm..... Not quite sure what's going on now here

Link Wire 56 has 12v when lights are off or on sidelights.

Link Wire 56 has 0v when headlights are on (Dipped & Main).

No good then to power Fog Light

I've decided to power them therefore from an ignition controlled live (via a fuse).

Presuming I've understood correctly, I'm pretty sure this will be OK for SVA.

Whoops, I keep forgetting the 83/87 switches work differently. Sorry Grizzly. Probably easiest to take a feed to the fog light switch from the sidelight circuit. That way you can only have the fog light on when the lights are.

Hi Nigel,

 

Yes I would prefer to do this actually. Can I splice into the sidelights at the Fusebox?

I think I tried this last night but it was late and I was tired. All sorts of weird things started to happen, so I went back into the house feeling grumpy.

 

Sorry Phil, I seemed to have have hi-jacked your thread. At least we'll both get there in the end (wherever that is!)

Doh!

 

Sorted now. The three wires which I had at the switch were Black (Earth), Blue/Yellow (To Fog Light) & Blue/Red (Supply). There was also an unused Red (Illumination). I've simply swapped the Blue/Red (now surplus) for the Red. All now working OK. Happy Bunny .

Unless anything goes wrong, hopefully this concludes the wiring of my car .

 

I'm sure your all sighing with relief

Steve - I'll sigh with relief when you roll up to a monthly meet in it!!!!!!

All the best
