Mk7 Front Fog Light Install

Just out of interest, do you have a cost breakdown for the various parts

Good step by step with piccies, do you mind if I put a copy in "technical how to"

I'll be interested to hear how you think they perform.

Al,

Brackets were £8.48 each , pair of lamps were £22.85 and I was £0.6 a screw from Ford so £7.50 in total.


So all in i was £47.

Yea go ahead thats why i did it to help others as I couldnt find anything before I did it.

Mike so far they are bright but from Not having anything to having light down there they are good lighting up the road sides on dark country roads.

Had mine on most of the day due to the "interesting" weather we've been having


I didn't need them, but it was cool to have them on, even if there's no useful light

So you got them working , did you put electric window in the van

Yep, all fitted and working OK thanks buddy

Sorry to butt in on this thread but when you added electric Windows how did you manage to unplug the connector between the door and body as I'm having a nightmare. Ta!

I just used my index and second fingers either side, and wiggled it carefully, and my fingers aren't small

It helps if you have fat fingers

Does anyone know the actual location of the front fog light plug,
Basically where do the fogs plug into the lighting system?
Any help would be very grateful received

If you have the correct spec loom then there will be 2 dog light connectors near where they sit in the bumper by the inner wings.

If you do not have the correct loom then there will be nothing anywhere. It has been a long time since I added mine but I know I had nothing.

I can search later but you only need to feed 1 cable through to the bcm and get the fog light switch and maybe get fogs activated in configuration to fit the lights. The wire can feed both fogs in and then negative ground them at the 8mm chassis leg ground bolt point.

I recall that I looked a small hole through the bulkhead grommet and fed the cable through.

Most ppl hear bcm and swerve it though so let me know if you want the pin number.

All went well with fitting fogs to mine until I took the head lights out. No wires to connect the fogs up to.
Can you give me some help please? Where do I find the Bcm and pick up the feed to the front fogs?
Thanks,

Front fog supply f80 is 15A and the bcm is located remove the glovebox, look for the main fusebox and above it are 2 tabs to splay outwards, this allows it to flip down and reveal the bcm and its fuses.

You need connector C2 pin 19 (it should be empty) you need to get a lie connector and wire and insert it into that spot.
That then goes to both front fog lamps, through to chassis ground. It isn't that hard to do but if you aren't that easy inclined then you'll need to find an auto electrician.

Thanks for that. Is lie connector a typo? Looking at a picture of C2 there seems to be different sizes of male spade terminals, any idea what size pin 19 is and where can I buy the correct terminal?
Do I need to disconnect the battery before pulling plugs on the bcm

[loot]

Pin 19 will be the small square pin I think. Look on the loom side of the connector and you'll see the odd number, you'll be able to work out where pin 19 is. Eg.


1...... 9

10...... 19

You can't fit all the numbers on there see.

Did i say the wire colour is violet /red trace. If present.

Ps. The connectors are specific to these we usually cut 1 off a scrapper lol

[dethleffs]

Thanks again.
Do I need to disconnect the starter battery to unplug C2?

Seems odd that my van hasn’t got the wires to the fog lights as it’s a high spec van.

[smithscarlos]

Can anyone please show me what plug/connector the front fogs on a mk7 transit plugs in to
