Fog Light Plugs?

[groonsnout]

Hi People!

This is my first post on the forum - as I am now a proud owner of a '97 RS4 stagea. There doesn't seem to be a heap of them here in the ACT, so if you see me on the road (silver - dual sunroofs) wave!

I just had a noob question to ask as well - I've just about figured out every little trait of the car, except when the fog lights were 'disabled' for compliance they just cut the plugs off, so of course I want to fix this and was just wondering if anyone knew what kind of plugs they might use? Or just easier to go to an auto electrician. I'm talking about the small yellow ones next to the main lights.

Anyway, thanks for providing such an excellent resource!

Cheers,

Groonsnout

I have only just bought my stag too and I know it has only been in Oz for less than 12 months, I actually have all the compliance papers.

So it has been complied recently however my yellow foggies are fully functional

I did ask this in another thread but I never really got an answer, is operating foglights in Australia illegal? I would take a stab at yes if yours were disabled in the comp process.

I spose the other question is do the cops actually pull you up for them? Has anyone been pulled up for using them on here? I have seen tons of silvias with their yellow lights on crusing around over the last few years.

In QLD Yellow is a reserved colour for Emergency Vehicles only, along with Red, Blue, Green and Flashing White. So technically yeah is is a defectable thing up here, yet I have used them, funnily enough in the fog, and passed a copper and he didnt look twice.

They sell yellow spotties for cars at supercheap and I see heaps of 4x4 with them and red spotties here in rocky all the time, guess the police up here are pretty lax about it.

can someone please put up a photo of the lights in question?

I have never seen any "fog" lights on mine, but if I knew where to look I would love to put some coloured globes in there myself

The foggies on S1's are the little yellow lights right next to the main headlights, on the insides of them. On your right stalk there should be a switch for it.

And the globes are clear, so any other colour you stick in there would be mixed with yellow from the yellow glass insert located inside the headlight unit

Thanks for that!

And the yellow makes it easier for me - I wanted to put green in there to match my paint, so I will bung a couple of blue globes in there and I'm all set!

So did anyone figure out what the plugs might have been?

If you need a look at the plugs you're more than welcome to have a look at my car. I've had my Stagea in ACT for about 2 and a half years now in our fair capital, so give me a yell if you want any help with anything, I've done most of it.

Cheers mate I might take you up on that, I'm a bit of a 300zx guru, but not quite up to speed on these yet.

Ah, well they're easy. I had a skyline before this, so most of my knowledge carried over.
