OK well, I got the fog lamps working :cheesy: Finally!

Basically, it's all jamesxldt's fault as he told me to buy the wrong relay :P Benner, the one you posted a picture of is the correct one, but I haven't found one yet in the shops :(

But where this relay is supposed to go, there is an identical one for "Daytime driving lights" (what the hell is that?). I took the relay out of that and put it into the fog lamp one and tadaaaa! Easy when you know how... Now just need to find a relay in the shops!

Gonna service my car tomorrow and give it a nice wash... will take a picture with the fog lamps on so I can bug Niz to put it on my siggy :D

Just thinking about this.... we dont have a requirement in the UK to have Daylight Running Lights.... Why is the relay fitted? It doesn't seem to do anything as all my lights are off unless I turn them on myself...

Any ideas? :?

Looking good!

And now you've managed to get yours to work, maybe I should have a crack at fitting them on mine. :cheesy:

Erm... dunno :p ... well, I spent 80 quid on the blinging bumper stripes, the stalk and the fog lights. I'd say about 60-70 quid for the light and stalk. I am using the existing relay that was supposed to be for daytime running lights, but I've no idea what it's for so I am using that.

That said, I don't know where to get that relay and Peugeot was 46 quid + VAT for it.

Sounds like a good price to me, except that relay.

Will have to look if mine has one.

Hmm... naaah.. I have enough "bling" on it for now. After the summer I may get some nice 16" alloys and a subtle spoiler (lip or the 'official' Pug one). For now.. I am broke!!!
