Rear Foglights?

Post by NasoNex »

Hi,

I just bought foglights to my 360. And i just wonder if the "fog-light" switch inside the car is for rear foglights? does the car even have rear foglights? I cant see any difference when i turn the switch on. And i see that there are already connected wires to the switch.

Is the switch for rear foglights? or is it there for simple mounting of foglights in the front?

Sorry, bad english. Thanks.

The switch next to the steering wheel is for rear fogs...
The switch for the frond fogs is mounted in the center console, just in front of the handbrake lever.

INdeed, I know of many modern cars where they are on the same switch but in 2 phases. When you turn the knob the front ones go on and when you turn it further the rear ones light up.

I tested my foglights (rear only) today to check they work and they only come on when main beam is on with the ignition key in/turned. Although side lights work (maybe main beam) while key not in/ignition off.

dont forget to use a relay for the front foglights - running them off the switch itself might be a bit much for the wiring

Heh..sure it's the headlights anyway. I originally thought mine didn't work because I tried turning them on with just the sidelights on, but they worked with the main beam on.
