i got a dayz bumper and spotties and iv'e just finished fitting the lights up but they dont work... i used all original wiring and plugged it into the loom where it's supposed to go but no joy. has anyone hooked these up before?

the car used to have a rear foglight and that's what the second position on the foglight switch was for... maybe a plug under the dash needs to be swapped? does anyone have an S2 wiring diagram that could confirm this before i go digging under there for loose plugs?

also, can anyone tell me what the relay is in the fuse box, bottom row middle? cover says headlights but there was no relay in there on my RS4s (there's about 3 other headlight relays) but on my auto parts car, there was a brown one in there and no other ones... put the brown relay in my car but it did nothing. could this be part of the spotlight setup?

Mine has a second switch in the dash that controls which fog lights you want to use.. I can't have the fog lights in the bumper on at the same time as the spot lights. The switch make you choose one or the other! So it might be something along those lines! You might need to second switch.

cheers.... have you got a pic of this button? anyone else's the same? the only other one i've ever seen with the spotties has them controlled from the light stalk.

ok i'm digging this up coz i got bored today and did a bunch of stuff on the car and it got me looking at it again...

i've traced the wires in the engine bay to an empty plug under the dash where the looms meet behind the fuse box (shown in the pic) but i cant see a plug anywhere to put in it!

can someone with dayz spotlights please have a look under their dash for me and see if there's anything in this socket, where it goes, where it joins into the loom and what colour the wires are???

also, in the second pic, the plug circled in yellow, can someone that doesn't have a rear fog light (red bit where the second reversing light should be in the taillights) check to see if there's anything plugged in there??

another request, can someone with fast have a look for the dayz lights and see if it shows any of the loom ad-ons/extra wires/switches associated with them? the plugs were in the factory loom in the engine bay for the ad-on loom with the relays in it to control the lights and i have the extra spot on my light stalk to control the rear fog light i used to have.

the car i got the lights from (rubyRS4), had both a rear fog light and the spotlights and they were both controlled from the same position on the switch... if someone has a wiring diagram or pinout for an S2 stag, i need a copy to figure this out!

slightly, that seems to show the setup as to be installed by the dealer with the extra switch some people have... i'm trying to avoid using the extra switch as i know some are controlled by the light/indicator stalk. problem is, the wires from the stalk just disappear into the main ignition loom and i dont know where they come out

do you want the spotties on at the same time as the foggies? if so cant you just tap into the exsiting fog light wiring? not sure if this is what you ment but hopefully its an idea.

yeh that's what i'm trying to achieve but i have the second position on the fog switch that is supposed to control them so first position is just foggies on and second position is both on. that's what i'm after... if all else fails ill just find the control wire from the stalk that used to control the rear fog light and re-direct it the the spotties but i'd like to see if i can do it all as per factory before just bypassing things. i really need a wiring diagram..... do they exist?

Hey mate, sorry for late reply.

I think my car is the correct donor to check under the dash. I have no rear fog light, and have got DAYZ spotties fitted.

I will have a look for you now and see if there any differences.

yes thankyou it does, now i just need someone with the lights controlled from the stalk that doesn't have the extra switch to do the same..... i now know for sure that the plug is for the lights and it requires another add-on loom thing, now i just need to see how the system works without the extra switch.

interesting find tho.....

thats the bit of plastic that is under the steering collumn and the square bit looks to be a mounting spot for the extra switch... planned for from the factory.....

my advice would be just to do your own wiring - use the factory switch to run a relay.

you can buy pre-made relay harnesses off the net like this, very cheap, and quality is better than you could make yourself using bought parts.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
