Hi all I have a question for the electrically minded amongst us. My car arrived with a 5 pin head light relay - one of the pins is not being used which is causing confusion and fog light operation issues, but the wiring diagram shows it should be a 4 pin relay so I will purchase a 4 pin relay.
My question is at what stage of the park/head light switching should the fog lights be able to be switched on? Thanks Steve |

Fog lights only come on with head lamps in the dim position. The new 5 pin relays need a jumper wire on the unused terminal. Jump wire# 56 to 30.

Fantastic just what I was after, both myself and my auto electrician couldn't work it out. Thanks for your help we can now move on to the next job on the list.
Cheers Steve |
