what do you need exactly ?

it'd be the proper wiring loom to wire from the fogs to the switch in the car? (i think), i know F all about wiring and electric stuff

they arnt standard foglights, so a standard loom will not fit. You will have to make your own!

sorry guys, should not laugh but this is the easiest thing to do.

a light bulb has a + and a -
the wiring loom has a + and a -

Get a DMM (digital Multi Meter) and turn your fog light switch on, then measure with the DMM from one terminal of your fog light loom in respect to chassis. (one lead poking in ot a terminal on your fog light plug and one lead going to a chassis earth.)

you should expect to see 12v.. not hard to imagine why

make a note of which side is + and which is -.
cut fog light connector off

look at your light bulb... and detremin which lead should be + and which one -
Get some solder sleeve (or crimp) connectors and make a cable that joins from your fog light bulb to the old loom.

job done.


oh and not wanting to upset anyone, but i would not have paid for those lights.
i managed to get 2 of those from a scrappy for £5 and they where in basically new condition. granted i did have to make a bracket for them though.
