Hello everyone!
I'm kinda new here to the site and I have a question for the electrical people. My 914 did not have fogs when i bought it but it does have the wiring for them, i think (the extra wires that come out with the horn wiring?). I have a set of lights that i bought from camp914 and I'm now trying to install them. Where do the wires come out inside the car? Do I need to unscrew the fuse block? What color are the wires? I've tried to follow the diagram in the Haynes manual but with no luck. I'd also like to use a factory looking switch if not the real thing. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Kirk Ferguson |

Basically you only need the switch.
under the dash far left near head light switch there should be 2 wires one purple and one black not connected to anything. This actuates a relay that the other end of the white with yellow striped wires go to. I have a switch that I will sell you cheap if you want. |

You will have to pull down the fuse block and add a relay in the vacant holder in addition to the switch. Switch wires will be below the combo guage. Grey/red stripe is power, black/blue is light and brown to ground.

As you can see not all cars are exactly the same.
Or my feeble memory can't reach back 5 years ago. (possible) |

Try doing a search, Demick had a good how to on the wiring hook up, I did mine so it just works with the switch (stock it works with the low beams only)
I use mine for daytime running lights. The switch is the same as the 914 defog switch and also it's a common early VW bug emergency 4-way lights switch, the only thing "special" is the insert in the knob. |
