??????????

Post by tomgoodwin3 »

More electrical confusion!

Ok, my car appears to be a cross breed between a US car and european one, it has a US body shell but a euro wiring loom....

Now I've noticed that the 74 US loom is designed to accomdate fog lights, the 74 euro one instead accomdates 'additional headlamps' (the white bit of the front indicator lense i assume?) and has no 'fog light' switch. Now the problem is my car has both, or at least i want it to have both. Has anyone hooked up both fog lights and additional headlamps???

If anyone can shed any light on this it'd be much appreciated!

Cheers,
Tom Goodwin

Looks like i'm confusing myself here.....!

Upon further inspection of the wiring diagram i think is right:

Euro cars have fog lights too, but they're called additional headlamps and come on when you select full beam, as opposed to the US cars where they're called fog lights and are controlled by the fog light switch. Can someone confirm this? Does anyone own a euro spec car?

Cheers!

Tom I have a US car and the front fogs are controlled by a (green) fog switch.
They are switched on independently but go off if the main beam is selected.
