Hi Guys,

As many of you would know, part of the ADR Compliancing is to remove the foglight and disable the foglight switch on the dash.

Has anyone ever bothered to get them working again?

If so how hard or easy is it to recommission?

Thanks,

Bob.

Unlikely that they bothered with seperate wiring....so if you pull the adm dash is there still plugs in place?

Does the ADM have the switches or a blank.

Hi Duncan,

You may not be aware but I bought a JDM a few weeks ago and I'm restoring it at the moment.

I wouldn't touch the ADM but I'm keen to get the fogs working on this new car.

Cheers,

Bob.

Ahh OK, now I understand. Makes more sense too

Well, I've seen it done 3 ways:

Unplug the switch in the dash

Unplug the wiring to the globe

Cut the power wire for the light.

Depending on the original compliancer's level of laziness it could be any. Certainly there is no "official" way to disable them, they just can't work after compliance.

I would start with the engine bay, simply because it is easiest. There will be 2 sets of wires going to the headlight, one for the main, one for the fog lights. Most likely the second is unplugged or cut.

Sorry I don't have my car handy here to check, it is in original JDM spec as it was never complied

Thanks mate, I appreciate the feedback.

I can add it to the 45,671,234 other things I want to do to it! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

OK..... now I'm confused....................

The two outer lights are my parking lights, the centre projector style lights are the normal night lights, and the two inner lights are the high beams.

So...... which are the fog lights?

Thanks,

Bob. :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:

Not many have them, but here's what the factory option ones look like;

This picture shows where they are mounted (although the lights in the picture are not the stock ones)

Ahhhhhhh the penny has just dropped!

I was looking at a car on Carpoint that must have had the OEM's fitted and I thought to myself how ugly they were! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I didn't realise they were the originals.

All's good.

Cheers guys.......

Bob.
