Fog light wiring

[NickandNeil]

I have an Exmo that  is waiting for the IVA test.  After reding the IVA regs for the umteenth time I have noticed that the rear fog lights must not come on when the lighting is set on side lights only.

My loom is off a sierra built in  1984 which allows you to do this.  Does anyone know the best place to take the feed, as the dipped and full lights are on different fuses?

Take the feed from before the dip switch.

That is the wire that runs from the light switch to the dip switch, my 1983 switch does not need relays but the feed to the rear fog light switch has a 5A fuse in it.

Thanks, i was not sure if that had been fused yet.  I think I will take your advice, but put an inline fuse to be on the safe side.

Is this feed within the steering column shroud, I was trying to find a feed the other day in a junction about 18 inch from the steering column & struggling.

Yes that is the wire I used, standard ford colour would be white/black.

Comes from S54 on the headlight switch to 56 on the dip switch.
