WTF?! Just noticed that my 1.4 16v doesn't have fog lamps!

maybe it had a knock at the front and they weren't replaced?

Can you pull the lightswitch in one or in two steps for the foglights?

Foglamps were optional.

The light switch pulls out once for rear fogs then again for front fogs, if you can only pull it out once then your car wasnt fitted with front fogs

Yep

I'm sure the grilles already has the cuts out in for retro fitting of fog lamps, If not you will need to get the 2 small plastic grills that hold the fogs which are about Â£20 I think then fog lamps themselfs are about Â£50 quid each I think!

Sorry I got it the wrong way round you pull it out once for front fogs then out twice for both, so if you wanted to use just ur front fogs (for showing off

) then you would need to buy the 2 pull switch.

The wiring should already be there being a 16v so It's just plug and play really

that's good news then!

No sorry, there is no plug and play guys.
And i know what i am speaking of.
You need the whole wireloom for the complete front, i mean from the connector above the watercooler to the foglights (two wires). ThatÂ´s for sure.
And then it is a question of good luck if your car has the one wire from the lightswitch to the centralelectricbox and from the centralelectricbox to the connector above the watercooler.

Right Alex?WasnÂ´s it that way then? long time ago right?*hmpf*
So if you realy are interested on this wait till i am back from the wÃ¶rthersee next week, then i can tell you what to do to find out which wires you already have.

Cheers

Hmm odd, everyone I spoke to has the connectors, I even had all the wires plummed in on my 8v!

forgot to say, check your car out, the wiring may be there already, in which case, its just a new switch + fogs + grilles to order

Yeah my 98 CL doesnt have foglamps either

I was thinking of putting on giant ones like on the Evo 4

hehehe
Would like an Evo 4 style front bumper with the fog lights aswell

Could I just connect the fog lights to a new switch in the front of the car and to the battery?
