Post by: <Daneh> on December 05, 2003, 09:56:56 PM
Do all rx-7\'s come with front fogs as i\'ve been told i should have some on mine, even rotechnics saidi had "Remains" of foglights, yet i find no switch or anything for them inside the car.  If so anywhere i can get um?

had a little look this morning and found part ofa bracket, maybe it\'ll be easy to get some as the cables will probably still be there.

Any idea\'s where to get some?

Many cars where the manufacturer offers front fogs as an option come pre-wired with the loom already in place and just requiring a switch and fog light units.

Having said that the MX-5 does not, so it just might by a case that a previous owner of your car had added adn then removed a set of front fogs.

well i know they were removed but not my hand, more by the front end collision this car had before i owned it. Even one  of the towing hoops has been bent back on itself to hold the undertray in place... :(

I have an RX you have seen it. Its that shinny red one:) On the front there are 2 Yellow Fogs, but none on the back. I have been to the M.O.T place that does my cars to see where I stand. The Mot Bible states that the switch that controls your fogs has to light up when they are ON! There also is Normally 2 switches or 1 that does both (as on my ford). A Yellow light for front and a Green for rear I think. I did ask about turning the center stop light into a fog or part of it and they said they can\'t see why not. Then my mate rang me and he had asked an Mot place and they said they would fail it. So this seems to be a grey area on what is acceptable!

i had my rear foglight set to my middle brakelight which had a switch put in in 1 of the spare buttons on the centre console and yes they only come on when normal/high beam is on.

The swiitch is fine, but having it light up on turning your lights on is only a back light so you can see where it is. They told me that it would fail if it did not light up independently. Well that is what the MOT Bible says. I guess its up to the person Moting it! But that is the Law.
