hey just installed the new sports bumper i bought , but just out of curiosity is there anything else i need to do other than plug them in as they dont seem to be working, the wires for them were already there as blanks and fit perfectly onto the rear of the fogs so im more or less 100% sure theyre rght, just wondering if there's anything else i need to do to get them working again
any help would be awesome!!
Cheers!

Fuse
Does your current light switches have the option for front and rear fogs? Or just rear?

BSI needs options need editing, and you need a new fusebox more than likely

well although that video is nice it didnt really help  if anything it just annoyed me a little more haha
but yeah so whats the downside to just wiring it straight to your rear fog light and how can it be done ??
also if thats the case with the fusebox can i just get one from a gti and swap them over or is there aspace in mine which requires a certain fuse??
And will i deffinately need a bsi update ?? and how much is it??

How do you want them to work?
With fog lights and main beam?

Two 30amp 4 pin relays
Relay one
power = +12v from fuse box
earth = chassis earth
output = both fogs
switch = feed from rear fog
Realy two
power = +12v from fuse box
earth = chassis earth
output = both fogs
switch = feed from main beam

I would't bother doing anymore. They are pointless lights. Save yourself the hassle.
