Hi All,

Had a nosey around and couldn't find an answer so I'm asking here.

I've just purchased some big 8" spots to go on my bull-bars (when fitted). I'm hoping this is just a simple yes/no question.

Am I able to pick up a front fog light button from fleabay, pop it in the dash and then use that as the on button for my spots?

I know that you need to turn the front fogs on, with BeCM, but I don't think this would be applicable here as I'm not using the wiring for them - OR would that be a good idea? so the RR thinks my spots are in fact my front fogs?

Much appreciated!!

James
 
The fog light switch is not an on/off switch so you could only use one, with the BECM turned on, if you used the existing fog light wiring.
 
You can use the fog wiring. Two 8" spots should obstruct the cooling airflow to the RAD nicely:rolleyes:

Excellent, I shall do that then! (I understand you're saying, you can do it, doesn't mean you should though - although, if they cause a problem - I'll just take 'em straight off).

Now to find someone near Huddersfield with the doobery-whatsit to turn them on and hope that they will let me come to them to do so!
 
Don't assume that it's not turned on. My diesel, which were never fitted with fogs, had the circuit on in the BECM.
 
As an alternative, and if you wanted to wire them up outside of the becm (ie using relays attached to the headlight circuits) you could make a switch out of the body of a hazard switch or cruise switch (which are latching) and the top of a fog light switch (for the correct type of graphic).

No problem as long as you don't overload the circuit, you can always interpose a relay to up the power.
