Foglight Switch for late Bb4 4th Gen

Post by **Greg-SiR** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 12:40 pm

So i was let down by the scrappy who sold me the fogs but i was informed the whole armrest piece had been removed without permission

Oh well so i settled for the harness then and numerous queries later i have given up with no replies so here i am in need to finish off my illumination of the lower front bar

Probably hard to get these seperate from the units themselves but worth a throw out.

Mines the late i think? been a 95 model with the horizontal layout on the switches.

So what parts do you need exactly?

I installed front fogs on my facelift BB4 recently. The hardest part to find was the button itself. A nice man in here pointed me to a whole centre console in EBay that had the switch in.

Wiring should all be there except the extra relay near the fuse box and look across the front bumper.

The harness for the switch is already there - front fog switch normally goes in the row of switches in front of the cupholder - so look for a blue taped plug under there.
The harness extension that goes under the drivers footwell and hold the relay is not necessary - all you need to do is find the blue taped plug near the fuse box and plug a relay straight in there - just uses a standard relay.
The fog light switch will be difficult to find on its own but like Andy says you may be better looking for a center console that still has the switch in it.

I'm curious what the switch is in the pic, next to the hazard button?

And why is the handbrake on that side?

Left hand drive in Australia?

And my sunroof switch is to the right of the steering wheel. Where's his front fogs switch supposed to go I wonder?

Apologies it was a random Google image,was going to say but left it,just wanted to reference the switch layout

I thought i needed this fella ^^^^

So it's just a a standard relay then same as the one used on the ?? i'm not good with this jargon i'll be honest

Thanks Vanzep you cleared it up in that paragraph,Alinton is there an alternative to the switch or are they set specific?

So there's 2 switch types that vary with the year release of the car? is it just the switch housings that vary on them?

Thanks

Yes on facelift (1994-1996) 4th gens the loom is in place already. You can get a short extension which allows you to mount the relay under the drivers footwell but as said you dont need this part as you can just plug a standard 12v RC relay straight into the plug near the fuse box in the footwell. Any 12V RC relay will do - look in your under bonnet fuse box and you will see the smaller black oblong type of relay that im talking about. You should be able to pick one of these up very easily if you dont already have one.
On preface (1991-1994) 4th gens you need the additional loom as no wiring is in place for the front fogs.

Here is a link to the thread that i put up when i was doing my fogs last years.
