Connecting up Front Fog Lights

Post by andrewlyon » Fri Jul 17, 2015 10:57 pm

Hi, everyone.

I've acquired a pair of secondhand Bongo front fog lamps, followed the various posts on here to locate the wiring connections. I think I've found them, there were a group of relays behind the leisure battery and this blue plug was coiled and taped up at the side. Does this look right (link to pics below)?

So, assuming that's the correct plug I need to work out how to wire them up - unfortunately I don't have the last part of the wiring that connects to the lights. I can see some of the wiring colours are similar from the section of wire left on one fog light, but not sure how they all connect up - any suggestions?

After that, I assume it's a case of popping a fuse in the empty slot in the fusebox and trying to locate the wiring coming into the dashboard for my fog light switch ...

Thanks,

Andrew

Thanks, my VIN is in the manual that isn't available, but looking at the earlier series manual:

so I reckon that the plug I found is E2-02, the correct feed for the front fog lights, leading to the E2-03 and E2-04 connectors on the fog lamps themselves. I'll have to make my own connections but at least I'm on the right track!

Thanks for your help,

Andrew

Looking at the connector and it's location, I would say that should plug into the bottom of a relay (which may well be for the front fogs). I've got a spare relay or two if you need one in exchange for a beer token ;).
