foglights

Post by jonny6n2 »

i have a 6n2 with no foglights how easy is it to convert them? is the wiring already there or does it need to be done in the manufacturing process?

Remove the blank foglight covers and you should see the plugs if fitted, they're connected to clips on the inner wings, all you need if the connectors are there is a new light switch with the front fog position, simples!

no it's separate, so if your switch doesn't have both on it you need to buy another switch which does support both.

They look exactly the same, but pull out once for front fogs, then further again for the rear fog.

Actually after looking at it, there's another light to signify the front lights that comes on when they're selected, this is the only visual difference. It's located right next to the rear fog light symbol on the dial.

No the switches are definitely different, but there is small visual difference to them. The only visual difference being that there is a small front fog icon next to the rear fog icon on the switch.

No because the switch has different modes for each fog. Pull out once for front fogs, twice for rear fog.

Standard switch only has pull out once for rear fog.
