Subject: I think this is what you want... Euro fog light switch wired up... Author: 04sshd : member since March, 2007 : 4159 posts Posted on: 2008-03-21 23:17:58

I finally got off my arse and and wired up my euro fog light switch...

I had my A/E's hooked up to the fog lights, and I was tearing into the dash to relocate my cruise switch so I figured I might as well run the euro switch wires while I am in there.








Run the wire down the dash to the floor


push it through the firewall


the wire comming from the 4th pin on the euro switch is a controlled ground so wire that in with the two grounds from your angel eyes.


Splice both positive wires from the Angel eyes and run them to a positive with ignition in the fuse block.



I used the same positive with ignition as you guys who wired the CCFL's as daytime running lights.




so here are the results. With the ignition in the on position and with the euro fog switch in position 3, my Angel Eyes will illuminate


When I take the key out and the euro fog switch is still in position 3 the CCFL will stay on for 3-5 seconds then shut off.

If I have the euro fog switch in position one or two, it will remain unchanged from factory settings.

Here is the switch layout how I have them wired

Position 1- OFF
Position 2- Fog lights with headlights on
Position 3- CCFL Angel Eyes with ignition on
Position 4- CCFL A/E's with ignition on and Fog lights on with headlights
