Having now acquired a set of OEM fogs, I noticed there's room for a 501 type bulb too.

I know some of these were used as side lights on imports, but cannot make sense of why there is the wire for this in the loom if it were never intended to be hooked up?

Did the UK versions maybe have the three pins on the connector?

My import has the sidelights in the foglights

 

The indicators have the indicator and the turning quarter illumination bulb which comes on with the indicator when the lights are turned on

Did the UK versions maybe have the three pins on the connector?

 

Yes, the original UK lights had both the indicator and side light in one unit.

 

Three cables as follows

 

1) shared earth

2) Indicator

3) Side light

In the fog Jeff? Shouldn't 2) be the fog light feed, or are you talking about the UK indicator assy?

hi pete

when they were fited to my car they were the sidelights and also the fog lights mate

Cool, then I'll just ignore the sidelight fittings, mine are located in with the indicators now.

Just need to try and remove the nasty existing ones then fit an earth to the plug as someone hacked it off.
