right my car is an import so does not have fog lights as such. i assume upon import the car was converted in the following manner to provide it witrh fogs, but they did it wrong.

il describe with what ive got if you view the clusters head on as a car from behind would:

brake lights, the two outside bulbs illuminate.

sidelights, both bulbs illuminate on the dimmer setting.

fog light, both bulbs illuminate at the lower setting looking as if i have my side lights on.

this to me makes no sense and i assume the person who meant to do this meant to wire the fog light to the inner brake light bulb, this would be more logical wouldnt it? so my question is how do i modify it do make more "sense" ive got a centre panel in pieces and intend to use that for the led fog/ reverse mod so many are doing, in the near future. be nice to have all four brake lighst on when braking tho helps stupid people in clios to not go up the back of you.....

Your fog lights should be wired so that they light up what were originally the inner brake lights, as that is the brighter part of the bulb.

 

So yes your right its more logical to be wired to the inner brake light

 

If you look at the back of your rear lights, is there an extra wire joined to the existing wiring loom? as this will be the wire for the fog light conversion

no, no,no, no....

 

do Zedwiss's conversion.... much better.... :biggrin:

 

move the extra wire that is powering the fog in the tail light to the led pad (from zedwizz) and put it in the reverse light section ..

The two wires could be a pick up on the number plate light or be the number plate light, side rear marker illumination perhaps?

Nice wide red tail lights at the rear give it a great look so pleased you have all them working :cool3:

Fit the zedwizz panels like this, the red fog light ones in the top spaces and the reverse in the bottom two, then everything is balanced or even.

The top two in this pic are in fact red, just that the pic not just come out to well :sad:
