Euro switch mods - adding additional lights

vgmnstr · #1 (**permalink**) 09-11-2006, 05:37 AM

has anyone had any luck in adding an additional set of lights for the second pull on the euro switch? I'm not interested specifically in adding a set of rear fog lights, but I'm searching for info in general in how to wire something additional into that space. Would I have to replace the plug or splice into any wiring in there. I haven't replaced my switch with the euro yet, but I should start looking up the info for the extra setting.

you could easily add a lead to the rear fog pin to a relay for another set of fogs.

What if I just wanted to add a generic or aftermarket set of lights? Do I have to add wiring to a specific pin on the harness to tie into it?

yup, you can tie it into the rear fog light pin on the euroswitch. I'd run the fogs on a relay though. The rear fog is only like a 5w bulb i think. So I wouldnt run anything more without a relay.

Any idea which pin it is? I just got myself a Bently manual, would it be listed in there somewhere?

I dont rember off hand, i think TFL. It's on the top most rightside (closest to the steering wheel) right when you pull it out.

TFL is the DRL pin. The pin labeled NSL is for the second pull on the Euro switch, which is normally used for the rear fogs but you can use it for anything, really.

Are the pins labeled on the switch? The bently manual only shows circuits for the 1 pull american fog light switch. And when I find it, would I just pass the signal through a relay to ground in order to use it? Or would I have to wire it up a different way?

Yup. Pull the swithc out and plug it out, they are stamped right under hte pins.

I'm looking at the old switch now and I see them. Thanks.

Ok, here's another question. Which plug/wire goes out for the 1st pull fog light setting?
