#1: HOW TO - Wire up front fogs? Author: PUG91, Location: ShropshirePosted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 8:16 am ---- After a few cheap mods to do next pay day, and thought I'd have a go at wiring up the fogs that came on my new front bumper, problem....I have nearly no experience with wiring etc.
My car didn't have fogs in the first place so will need them to somehow work off of my rear fog light switch....
Any and all information needed please my car is multiplexed if that makes a difference
cheers guys,

The OP stated so that they come on with the rear fog, so in theory a BSI update wouldn't be needed. Just splice into the rear fog light wiring.

Any idea on where would be the best place to splice onto would be and also, will going onto this wiring dim the fog lights at all?

Ah, good point

Author: E5GDM, Location: EssexPosted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 9:49 am ---- You will have to use a relay, then either add a separate switch & tap into the side lights feed to switch the relay, or your way (still using a relay) tap into the live to the rear fog at the switch. You won't need a bsi update either way.

nice one guys rapid response as always no doubt I'll be asking questions when I actually come to do it
#8: Re: HOW TO - Wire up front fogs? Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 11:24 am ---- if yours is multiplexed..
look for the wiring plugs hanging down below your headlights, if you have them plug them into the fogs.
you will be able to use your existing comm2000 unit as a switch (the rear fog twist switch would now independently control front and rear fogs, as this is a legal requirement i believe).
you WILL need a BSI reconfiguration to enable front fogs through the original car wiring.
most annoyingly, you will likely need a new engine bay fusebox with the appropriate front fog fuse fitted (either F5 or F6 i always forget). even meeting all the previous criteria means they won't work unless this fuise is fitted.
if you don't have the wiring plugs then you can get a £10 spotlamp wiring kit and run it from a switch in the dash, but i've done it both ways and the OEM retrofit is by far the neatest way to do it.
#9: Re: HOW TO - Wire up front fogs? Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 11:33 am ---- That's a good point. You don't necessarily want your back fog and front fogs on simultaneously. So was I right about the BSI then?
#10: Re: HOW TO - Wire up front fogs? Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 11:35 am ---- i originally ran a wiring kit from the battery and into a 205gti fog switch. doing this is totally independent and doesn't need a BSI update.
if it's retrofitted through the car loom, then yes a BSI update is required along with the other things i mentioned.

Sounds like a lot of work for two lights...
how do you go about configuring the BSI then is that a garage job?
#12: Re: HOW TO - Wire up front fogs? Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 11:43 am ---- doing it that way is way less work than running your own kit, which would only take an hour or two in itself.
it'd be a case of plugging in the factory looms and putting it onto the computer for 2 mins. if you need the fuse box then just safely disconnect battery and it's one bolt to remove fusebox and a minute to swap over the plugs, then reconnect battery.
a pug dealer or someone with pug planet could do it (like me but i'm miles away from you!).

sounds alot less intimidating put like that lol so if I were to do it this way I would be fine to keep my existing controls on my steering wheel...
How would I operate them, are they controlled individually to the rear fog?
#14: Re: HOW TO - Wire up front fogs? Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 11:50 am ---- yes mate very easy once you have the right parts. i guarantee you'd be scratching your head after doing it all and wondering why they don't work. it's because of that engine bay fuse.
the comm2000 would work like this...
one twist FRONT FOGS ON
two twists FRONT & REAR FOGS ON
one twist back FRONT FOG ON AND REAR FOG GOES OFF
another twist back FRONT FOGS GO OFF
controlled seperately from rear fog. it's the same comm unit as a car with fogs, just the pictures on it are different.
#15: Re: HOW TO - Wire up front fogs? Author: PUG91, Location: ShropshirePosted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 12:13 pm ---- Top info there mate appreciate it, I'll get myself down the scrappy on payday then see if I can find some bargains as I'm after a few other bits too!
#16: Re: HOW TO - Wire up front fogs? Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 12:35 pm ---- no probs. i'd check you have the two front fog plugs free hanging in the engine bay (you might not) and then look at your fusebox to see if there is a slot for the fuse or whether it's blanked out (like my original).
#17: Re: HOW TO - Wire up front fogs? Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Sat Mar 30, 2013 6:31 am ---- Sorry about resurrecting a very old thread, but I want to do something similar.
The bumper of our 206 Style got damaged so I'm fitting a new one with fog cut-outs as I have a pair of fogs collecting dust in the garage. So far so good ... but when I come to search for the wiring and plugs, I can only find ONE on the passenger side. That's a grey plug ... I can't find any spare connectors on the driver's side apart from a brown plug hooked up near the bonnet catch ... which suggests to my that's probably something to do with an alarm.
So how do the fogs wire up on a multiplex 206? ... one plug which then splits into two (so it there a separate wiring kit? Found nothing on ServiceBox). If anyone has a multiplex car with front fogs, what colours are the wiring plugs on the back of each one and if you can see, the wiring colours which would help trace it to the loom. My daughters CC is non-plex so wiring will probably be different.
I know I'll need a new comm2000 unit (£££s) as the existing one only has the rear fog light setting, but that can come later (I've got PP2000 so I can reprogram the BSI as well).
(Yes I know I could put in a separate switch but I'd like to try and make it all look as standard as possible).
#18: Re: HOW TO - Wire up front fogs? Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Wed Apr 10, 2013 3:44 pm ---- Anyone??
All I need to know is are there one of two fog light connections on a MUX and if two where is the wotsit on the driver's side hiding?!?
#19: Re: HOW TO - Wire up front fogs? Author: southwestchap, Location: DevonPosted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 5:33 am ---- I've done this. had a 206 LX (Mux) I had the fog plugs already on the car. think they're grey IIRC. after the bumper and fogs, i changed my COM2000 (indicator stalk was dodgy anyways) activated in PP2000, front fog light symbol on dash appeared but still no lights up front. Discovered that I had to change the engine bay fuse box from a BSM B2 to BSM B3 (extra fuse for fog lights).
I know i could of done it cheaper with wiring it up myself but i like to be OEM
Good Luck

The colour of the wire will just confuse you even more. Peugeot use numbers on the wires.
You need wire numbers 2060 and 2061. Both run from the engine bay fusebox to the foglamps according to the wiring diagram.
Your earth should be MC10B and MC11B run to the earthing point behind each headlamp.
#21: Re: HOW TO - Wire up front fogs? Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Sun Apr 14, 2013 10:31 am ---- OK ... found it. It was up in the engine bay lying alongside the loom. It was only when I was lying under the car looking up I found it.
So next job is to complete the rebuild of the front end ....
Next decision is whether to colour-code the bumper insert ... I've got two so I guess I could paint one and leave one and decide that way. Last edited by gazza82 on Sun Apr 14, 2013 10:45 am; edited 1 time in total

I had a similar situation when I wanted to add the map reading light inside mine. I had a dig around and found the connector already fitted but hidden.
Potentially annoying job just becomes easy.

your existing stalk will operate the front fogs once activated with PP2000, only thing is it won't have the logo on the stalk for front fogs.
don't forget you need the front fog fuse on the engine bay fusebox.
#26: Re: HOW TO - Wire up front fogs? Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Fri Apr 19, 2013 3:59 am ---- I'll check out that fuse. Thanks

There IS a sticker for the com unit, I've no idea of the part number OR of its still available on its own but it does exist as it comes in the kits.
