madmanncfc Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Ive added front foglights to my lupoIts actually pretty easy you need the following:2 x Front Foglight and screws1 x Lower valance with fog holes1 x Length of Red Wire 16 guage1 x Length of Black wire 16 guage2 x female connectors for the fog lights from vw with suatable guage repair wiresHeadlight switch with front fogsSoldering IronSolderHeatwrapInline Fuse Holder and Fuse (20A)2 ring terminalsStep 1:Remove you lower valance and replace it with the sport valance with your fogs fittedThis guide will help with that:http://forums.clublu...showtopic=24576Step 2:Remove headlight switch and replace with the front fog switchStep 3:Run the red wire through the bulkhead using an existing grommet. There's a few places that cables come through, the easiest is behind the ABS pump, presuming you have ABS, if not it's behind the brake pipe manifold. Once you've pushed a wire through here you should be able to find it in the passenger footwell up behind the dash, it'll be under some soundproofing which can easily be moved out of the way.Step 4:Run the red wire you just pulled through to the drivers side of the dash and up to behind the headlight switch. There will then be a thick white and yellow colour wire in the loom that goes to the connector for the headlight switch. It provides 12v when the fog switch is on and 0v when it is off. Tap into this wire by removing some insulation and soldering it in. Dont forget to heatshrink.Step 5:Go to the end of the wire you ran through the bulkhead and put in your inline fuse making sure its accesable somewhere in case it blows. The run the wire to the first foglight.Step 6:Insert the repair wires into your fog swith connectors. Start with your first foglight and tap your postive repair wire into the red wire. The continue the red wire and connect it to the positive repair wire on the second foglight. At this point its a good idea to secure the wire along the front panel so it doesnt hang down.Step 7:Connect one end of your black wire to a ring terminal and find a good grounding point on the chassis. Connect the other end to your negative repair wire on the first fog light. Now get another piece of wire and do the same for the second fog light.Step 8:Turn on your ignition and headlights so they come on. Pull your new switch out to the first position and check that your new foglights come on.Step 9:Relax cos youve done it.Hope that helps mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
