Using rear fogs without having front on

[ManOnTheMoor]

Hi,

Has anyone rewired/added switch for this as I would like to be able to use the rear, when visibilty is poor, but without having the front on, as often not help but make worse.

I was thinking small discrete switch (poss with light) to provide seperate circuit, but does the combined light switch include relay etc

or am I missing something on the original switch ?

Cheers

The light switch should have a 2-stage mode for fogs, pull out one stage to put the front fogs on, second stage adds the rear fogs. I don't know why it's that way round either, I think you need rear fogs far more often than front. It should be a simple matter of swapping the connections at the light switch, but since this is a 17-way conblock, that is easier said than done.

The documentation says position 8 is front fogs, a pair of grey/yellow wires and position 9 is rear fogs, a single grey/white wire. Position 2 is power for the fogs, a black/white wire. If you choose to cut wires, put in extra connectors so it is easy to swap back to factory-supplied configuration.

If you dont use your front fogs why not remove them

then they wont come on when you pull the switch out

plus if you remove them, they won't crack when a stone hits them

Why the hell would you want to even do that?????? just leave them as they are. Im in total agreement, Just remove the front fogs the simplest most hassle free solution!!!

i removed mine........... i never used them anyway and they were so big that they couldn't have been good for airflow to the intercoolers.

we have daytime drivinglights in Scandinavia so I use foggers for that. And switch to low beams after dark.

Or just pull the fuse (assuming the front fogs are on their own fuse) dont even need to get your hands dirty then

Well one front fog is cracked now,tsk. I do use if they actually help. Will pop the dash panel off and see what can do with the switch wiring...

not a hijack... but, will the main lower grill between the two for grills come out just as easily as the two fog grills? grill grill

Deff No, you will need to remove the bumper and Remove the tabs that hold it on, then find a way to stick it back on if you wand to replase it
