I`ve just purchased a pair of front fog lamps for me 316, just wanted to know are the spare grey plugs coming out of the loom behind the headlamps the ones needed to wire up ? Ive already fitted a 2 button switch and an idicator bulb in the dash. Am i right in assuming that i also need 2 fit a relay and 2 fuses ? Im hoping its as simple as that.

Also anyone got a spair wiper motor? went to clean mine today because of parking problems and discovered terminal bearing failure :( :td:
