[Mk2] [Turbo] JDM directional fog lamps

Post by obster »

Hey guys,

Does anyone know how the directional fog lights work?

I know at least one of my lamps should work as it is a brand new one which i managed to get my hands on a little while back. Both lamps light up but wont turn. I know there is a fog light control module by the fuse box and i believe there is a steering angle sensor behind the steering wheel.

What i dont know is any info on the wiring, and how the circuit works. Does anyone out there know what wires should power the motors and which wires are the signal from the steering sensor and from the module.

Also im not 100% sure if the switch needs to be pushed up or down, i have tried both positions and it just lights them up in either position.

Any help or advise on this would be fantastic :thumleft:

i know how they work, but i don't know the wiring.
Main lights also have to be on.
Centre position = off.
Switch up = on, no steering.
Switch down = on with steeering.

Sure you have the steering model ? they are getting pretty rare I think,

OK thanks for the info. I'll have another play.
They are definitely the turning lamps. Fogs lights have two connectors going to them

You sure about that? I think mine is the opposite.

Owners Manual says
Press the top of the switch for operation in accordance to the turning direction of the steering wheel. Press the bottom of the switch for normal fog light operation. The centre of the switch is the OFF position.

Need to take a photo off it. You could be right. If I remember correctly the label is different
