gwengo Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hi all, I have been searching for this topic but can't seem to find anything on it. I have a 2002 mk1.5 (facelift) 1.8 TDCi focus LX. At the moment it does not have any front fog lights fitted and I would like to install a set. My questions are: 1. Is there wiring loom already in place for these, and where would i find it? 2. I know i will have to get a new dash switch, but is it a simple case of swapping them over? 3. Would I have to make any modifications in the fuse box? I am a compitent diy mechanic, but when it comes to wiring I have quite basic knowledge. So any help would be much appreciated. Cheers all!!!!!

STEADS Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Couldnt say for sure but you say your pretty confident at diy mechs i,d just have a look on ones i,ve fitted to other cars in the past the loom is already there not far from the apetures same with where the switch goes you just might have to put a connection in the fuse box to a relay or you can get wiring kits off eBay.have a look and see what you find .

btmaldon Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I used to have a Mk1 Focus LX and the wireing was already there on that for the fogs, and yes, it was just a matter of plugging in the new switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfoord Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I guess we will never know if he found the wires or indeed fitted fog lights ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel S Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Maybe he hasn't had time to finish it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwengo Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 sorry guys, haven't been on for a while I had a quick look but couldn't find them. Whether its because it so mucky in there I don't know. Then, took my wife's 05 focus in for its MOT and found out that the coil spring has snapped on the front O/S so I've been a bit pre-occupied with trying to get that sorted. So my focus has taken a back seat for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 pop the cover off where the fogs go put ure hand in and feel around they are usualy cable tied to the back most of the focis had them so ide imagine they are there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdaddycain Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I recall my mates 2001 LX (petrol) Focus had all the wiring etc in place on his car car to retro fit factory fogs... Once he had the correct headlight switch it was a plug and play job... On my 1999 LX Diesel however, i had the wiring, plugs etc, but the feed went to the fusebox with out the connection to plug in the fuse (just an empty space where the fuse would plug in, but no contacts below) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
