Hoe to turn on the Fog lights

Recommended Posts

Dimi

Hi Guys and Gals, you may start laughing already, but could you let me know how you turn on your front and back fog lights?

I refurbished the front right reflector and repainted both frames and connected all cables back. 

Cheers!

Those are driving lights which come on with the high beam normally. Rear fog light comes on with the switch in the center console.

Firstly , they're not the fog lights but driving lights .

But can be used as a fog lights too (although the glass on them isn't fog type thus in wont be as effective ..)

 

Depending how they're wired in , they'll either light up when switching on the high beam (which is most common) or when you press the fog lamp switch on the dash (then they'll light up on anything but the high beam , i.e. will go off when switching on the high beam)

 

I tend to see EU spec models wired in so that they work on via the dash switch , so wired like the actual fog lights .. mine was certainly that way from the factory .

Thank you, Thijs-Rallye and DamirGTI!

I only drove the car in the Summer during the day and that explains my ignorance... I started it today after reading your inputs and yes, these driving lights turned on together with the high beams. 

One more off the list.

Next is to replace one of the burned rear license plate bulbs.

Have a good weekend!
