Eg foglight help needed.

[chickeneg3]

hi all,

installed my foglights into my eg hatch today, i know the switch is getting powr because its lighting up when i push it in, but the fog lights will not come on, i think it may be the relay because its not making a sound when i click the interior switch, any ideas?

need a bit more info, does the switch supply ground or +12v, how have you wired the relay, check the pins and let us know

[SuiJin]

is this genuine or aftermarket harness?
genuine will have two connectors to power under the dash + 1ground and one to the switch the aftermarket will ahve 1 connector and 1 ground, the other end goes direct to the battery for +12.

suijin i pm'd you

why not post all details here?
ive got the same issue!
i suspect its my grounding but have yet to fix this,.


heres what mine looks like,

oem style fog light with aftermarket harness and so on.

although it only shows 1 ground, there might of been another ground attached to the other light (so one each) but i forgot.
the fuse and the relay may of been the other way around, but thats generally my set up

suijin i pm'd u man, in the meantime im going to go see if an auto elec is open today...

[chickeneg3]

mine is an ebay one..so aftermarket, i have one earth in the engine bay and one earth inside under dash, im getting power to the interior switch but cannot hear the ticking of the relay so im assuming that the power is not getting to the relay, and i doubt that a brand new relay could be faulty...

obviously your not getting power to the relay. make sure the coil side of the relay has power either by accessories or ignition. and make sure the other end of the coil is properly grounded.

his kit has two grounding points, dw we're remaking the harness eg6 harness conversion.

care to give me a detailed description of what i need to do suijin?
i believe mine is the same as the OP's.
same ebay kit!

i bought mine off a user on here, but its an ebay kit too. i re-did the wire loom so i wouldnt have cables that could be seen in the engine bay. its fairly easy.

though one thing that gets me puzzled. the OEM switch has:
-1x red/yellow
-2x red/black (crimped together)
-2x black.
there are more cables in the OEM switch than the EBAY switch. anyone know what cables are3 for what?
