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

D.

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?

D.

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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
