I've my mr2 a while, and I bought it as it is, with a non standard front bumper and no front fogs.

I finally got round to buying some aftermarket fogs

(Raybrigs) and mounting them to the front.

I fished out the standard fog light plugs from behind the bumper and
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(as the fogs I bought already had mr2 fog plugs wired to them) connected the new fogs.

There was also no fog light switch so I fished around behind the dash and found the back of the fog light switch.

I figured out which two pins activated the relay and simply connected a wire between them.

When I turned the sidelights on and they lit up intiially but after a few seconds a fuse went.

So I replaced the fuse and tried again.

nothing happened.

I then looked at all the fuses
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(because I don't know what does what) in the drivers footwell and there was a 30A fuse that had gone also.

Looking at google images, it was labelled PWR I think.

Anyway I replaced this too and tried the same procedure again.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The fogs came on and stayed on for as long as I had the switch connected.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
So I went away happy and came back the next day with some replacement fuses for the ones I'd borrowed, I thought I'd do the same thing again to make sure everything worked before I attached the fogs and wired the switches properly.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
It kept blowing the fog light fuse again.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Also checked that 30A one in the footwell and it looked like it had nearly blown that one too.

I'm far from an expert electrics but I assume something must be shorting out somewhere? But why did they work fine that one time and not the others?! and how on earth do I find where it's shorting?! I'm tempted to just wire up my own separate circuit for the fogs.
