Re: New Fog Lights-They Don't work

Mine is a German / UK spec and I used and standard 5 pin from the automotive store, what I believe to be a single pole, but Brianmooore is correct I think in using a double pole, and this , i think, will be needed to allow the two-way switch?, nevertheless mine are working but with the low beam enga...

Re: New Fog Lights-They Don't work

I used the set-up above with the single switch and the fog lights work solely with the headlight switch.....going to install the double switch ASAP

Re: New Fog Lights-They Don't work

I apologize for the confusion, Let me clarify..........the front foglights come on with the headlight switch exclusively, there is no other switch controlling them apparently, they go off and on with the main headlight switch only. Normally , as you stated, you would have a seperate switch for the f...

Re: New Fog Lights-They Don't work

That's very interesting, I have never heard tell of rear fog lights. It IS a single switch.......and that may explain the mystery of the empty socket in the rear right cluster with a blanking plate in the lense, while the left cluster has all bulbs affixed and no blanking plate. But how does that ex...

Re: New Fog Lights-They Don't work

Is it possible the switch I have is for something else........it appears I have two lights in the cluster, that to me look like fog lamp indicators. One with horizontal wavey lines and the other have the wavey lines tilted slightly downward..........one of these does light up with the switch...........

Re: New Fog Lights-They Don't work

It is a eurospec e30..........I put in the K8 relay and fuses in slots 29 and 30, the lamps now work but are on and off with the main headlight switch, which is not a real big deal, but it puzzles me that I can turn off the switch and they remain on. I even removed the switch from the dash, unplugge...

Re: New Fog Lights-They Don't work

Thanks, that should get me there. Oddly enough, there is a factory switch in the car and there is also a light in the cluster which does work when I switch it on. I'll try the relay and fuses to see what happens....thanks again

New Fog Lights-They Don't work

I recently installed a set of new fog lamps on my 1988 318i, simply plug in under front bumper, but they are not working. The car originally did not have any, is it that I also need to fix a fuse or relay. My owners manual is in German, so I do not know which fuse / relay is for the fogs lamps. Any ...
