Fog Light Wiring

[ScottD3]

I've been trying to wire in the facelift rear fog lights and having issues.

I followed this wiring diagram

There is some differences between this foglight control module and mine.
I a couple of pins missing and a couple of extra pins. Missing pins 15, 17 and one other is missing. Pin 4 is not listed but its on my control unit.
I worked out which cable does what on the switches and where they go on the control unit, its all pretty much match the colour.
The problem I got is with the 3-4 thicker cables from the control unit.
Connected them up as per the diagram but nothing happens. It just drains my battery (which is now flat ).

Has any one got the wiring diagram for the UK/EU models or know how to do this?

No ideas what the yanks was going on about with their wiring diagram.

You got the fronts working...?

You got the fronts working...?

Don't have fronts

I threw my fronts away. Pointless things, utilised solely by chavvy idiots, and block airflow to my intercooler.

Is there a 'foglight delete' part for S4's then?

 

[aragorn]

On craigs S4 we binned the fogs and just left the round hole in the grille open.

i think someone sells fogless grilles from some foreign clime, but i dont know any more.
