How 2: Fit Foglights Into EP91 Glanza Clusters


Recommended Posts

Right thought I'd take it upon myself to make a tut for getting rid of the gastly, ugly, horried fog light on the back of your car.

Tools needed:

1mm Wire about 1.5m worth

wire cutter/stripers

solder iron and solder

Insulation tape

1. Remove the plastic covers in the boot to expose the 3 bulb holders in the rear cluster,

then take out the bottom bulb holder, the layout will look simalar on both sides.

You'll find theres a twin filament bulb in it, remove the bulb you will see there are two electrical points in the centre one filled with solder and one thats got a hole in it.

the point with the hole is not used in the glanza and will be used as a fog light.

2. Get one end of your wire and strip about 1mm off the end (you dont need much), feed the wire up the back of the bulb holder and into the hole, you can use a bit of tape to hold the wire in possition.

Then solder the wire in place, try not to blob the solder or it will lift the bulb off the other point (side light side)

replace the bulb and place the bulb holder back into the cluster.

now run the wire across the boot along the line of the loom thats already there securing as you go, cut the wire to the required length ( enought to feed the wire into the oppsite bulb holder and solder it in)

and repeat the above instructions this should connect the two 21w filament together.

Now find the wire that has aleady been run to the boot suppling the power to the foglight, you need this wire to be live when the side lights are on and the rear foglight switch is on, if its live at any other setting its wired up wrong!

You now need to connect the live wire to the wire you have just installed, just trim some of the insulation back without cutting through the wire, strip the end of the live wire that used to power the old fog light about 8-10mm sould be enough an wrap it around the wire you have striped back and solder it. then insulate it with the tape so it wont touch down to the body.

you dont have to worry about the earth as its aleady in the bulb holder to power the side light :thumbsup:

Test it operation by switching on the side lights and then switching on the foglight it should be on, by just switching off the side lights and leaving the fog light switch on should switch the foglights off.
