being able to flash the fog lamps with the main beam,
or high beam with fogs, then off on dip
this seams to be quite a good mod for country road driving.
Ive gone and done the mod myself
on my PH3 HDI and took a few pictures for you people
the fogs are still switched and used as normal but you have the option of fogs on with high beam or fogs on when flash high beam
remember this mod is not legal but with a switch to turn it off you are more in control when it comes MOT time
first off i armed myself with
Diode
switch
heat shrink
wire
electrical tape
soldering iron
and the electrical drawing
and tools
first thing was to work out what i was going to do and where to connect the diode and switch
i decided to do all the connections inside the steering
column cowling
this is a drawing of the additional circuit added
had to remove the cowling to expose the plug on the back of the light stalk
i metered out the cables to work out what was what and working out where to connect my circuit
thin brown wire go's to the headlight high beam
thin red wire go's to the fog lamp relay trigger
stripping back the cables soldering in my new wires and mocking up the install to test
after testing to make sure the diode was the correct way round the circuit was installed and insulated up
once insulated it was time to mount the switch into the cowling
then its a matter of refitting all the cowls
and the final test
