I placed this post in the Garage as well, but maybe it's more appropriate here. So, I'm installing my wiring harness (4 cylinder), it is a european harness. I'm making this assumption based on one main observation (although there are others that seem to support it). The observation- this is a new harness (unfortunately I do not have the part number... sad.gif ), there are NO wires going to what would be the side marker lights. Nothing (absolutely certain) has been cut, I can trace all wires and there never were any side marker light wires.

So, my problem is this, there seems to be no wiring coming out of the harness in the passenger compartment area for a fog light switch, there are, however, wires for fog lights up near the front bumper area where they should be. The main wire (white with a yellow stripe) enters the passenger compartment area and goes to a relay, which then jumps directly to the combination relay, from there there are no wires that would normally go to a switch.

I know that there was some different functionality with the Euro fog light operation, but what exactly was the difference? Do the fog lights turn on any time the headlights are on, meaning no need for a fog light switch? Do I need a special head light switch?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! biggrin.gif
