rear fog light question

[slayer322]

Good day,

Im drawing up a diagram to start my rear fog light retrofit.

just wondering if anyone has any pics of a jdm or euro mx-3 with the rear fog light(s) on

thanks

finished the diagram, pretty sure it should work

Not bad at all.

I would ground the fogs separately from the reverse lights. Or at least increase the gauge of the stock ground wire.

How do they come wired from the factory? Does anyone know?

I'll be using an SMD led bulb so I can't see there being an issue. Plus it's setup up so that fog light cant be on at the same time as the reverse so there will only be 1 bulb grounding at a time.

From what I've seen , the fog is in the passenger side reverse light but I'd like to keep both reverse lights working. Hence why I've wired it that way. I'll have to make another bulb hole.

Ah that makes sense. So you're making the fogs out of US spec housings? That sounds like a fun project...

did you see this? http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=60468" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I have full euro versions (combined RHD + LHD euro sets) of the mx-3 rear foglights on both of my cars. However I ran separate wires to a manual switch...

ah, i did not see that, thanks

what side is the jdm side for the fogs? i always thought passenger like the skylines and silvias

On the mx-3, the rear fog light goes on the side behind wherever the driver is sitting.

LHD = left taillamp has rear foglight
RHD = right taillamp has rear foglight

JDM = RHD
UK = RHD
AU = RHD
Most European countries = LHD

Also, mx-3 non-US taillamps have individual dividers inside the lights so the light looks square as opposed to wrapping around the reverse light.

To see pics of the differences, look at this thread: http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=62164" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
