Please can someone post a pic of the front fog lamp relay? I'm having real trouble finding one.
I need to know the part/model numbers etc.

Thanks

Wiring front fog lights

Post by Bigmeat »

Has anyone wired in a set of front fog lights, or know the electrics well enough to help me?

I've sourced a set of Hella front fogs. They came with a relay, wiring and switches, but I want to keep the whole set up faithful to the original.

I've got a green fog switch on order.
My car has the wiring from the switch to the fuse box. But it stops at the connector block inside the fuse box.
I'm really stuck as to just how to wire up the relay and finish the system.

Please can someone give me some advice?

Hello, new to the forum, and working on various restoration and upgrade projects for E21 rear lights - early and post-facelift versions. I caught sight of this post, want to offer any help I can.

You may have gotten this all figured out in almost five years, but I am just coming up to speed on the site. Let me know if you have any unresolved issues. I have a pile of rear lights, both 4 and 5 section (early and late) lights that I will be restoring and upgrading (as I do so frequently) for additional light output, larger visual appearance, and higher reliability.

Thanks!
