Fog light wiring

Post by Ride_on » 10 Jul 2016 10:36 pm

I'm retrofitting front fog lights to my project, originally 360 GLE supplied with fog blanking plates and no relay and no spare wiring near the battery or where the switch might be.

I understand the relay near the battery, but reading the schematic there is also a 'fog lamp control relay'. I want to get this as per factory as much as possible.

Firstly does anyone know if there is existing wiring for this?

Secondly where does this control relay go?

I am also interested in that kind of information :arrow:

From what I know of my GLT, there's a power going through a relay from the light circuit, which is switched on or off via the fog switch, which provides a positive through the fuse behind the battery for the lights. Which are then grounded by the battery. I'm pretty sure that's how it's done, but I could very well be wrong.
