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.

      No engine fan = quieter getrag ???

      By Butters · Posted

      Saw this video today from Adam LZ.    Long story short is he is claiming that the load from the engine fan once the fan clutch heats up(engaged) is increasing the getrag rattle(at idle) when you don't have a dual mass flywheel.  Before I go buying an electric fan setup .... Anyone heard of this ?    I must admit when my car is cold the getrag is pretty quiet and I do notice the rattle after it is all warmed up. I've always assumed this is due to the gearbox oil temp and tolerances of metal.

      Yep it sure does.   Tone wheel lines up in the same spot perfectly.

      Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!

      That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
