MK2 PH2 Fog Lights

[Russ.]

Hi, i have a 51plate expression+. ive just added clear repeaters, new air filter, changed wheel trims (till i can afford alloys lol)

just wondering is fitting fog lights to the car going to be a big job or not?

im trying to find out the exact same thing mate.

The foglights plug into the car behind the bumper on the passengers side, as far as i know most expressions are wired for foglights so i think all you need to do is fit the actual lights themself, plug them in and change the steeringwheel stalk to one that has the front fog function

 

[V1NNY]

yeah basicly thats it i would have thought, unless you need to put a rellay in

 

[Russ.]

sounds good to me. prob is getting hold of a stalk now...bet theyre pricey from renault?

I'd find the price and part no. but i'm not at home. I would imagine there at least £50, you might be able to get one from a scrap yard, i've seen them cropping up on ebay but most of them seem to be the ones without front fogs but its worth having a look.

There is also a relay involved too I think as I can hear one pull in when I turn my fogs on and to be honest I would be really surprised if all the wiring is there in place for the fogs too (could be wrong) so i'd have a look first before you start buying anything.

 

[Russ.]

how do i go about pulling out the foglight cover thats there atm to have a look if the wiring is there? the fog light covers clip back in after ok?

 

[Russ.]

ahhh ignore previous post. ive just looked through the engine bay and can see a wire behind the rear of the passenger fog light cover (cliped onto fogy cover) so looks like i just need the fog lights, stalk and the wire that runs between the passenger and drivers side foggys

82 00 086 522 BUMPER LOOM C2 18.27 ---3 x 1
77 01 051 759 H/LAMP CONTROL C3 58.64 ---3 x 1

There the part numbers i've pulled from dialogys for the stalk and the loom that goes between the fogs.
I can't get the part no for the actual lamps because it comes up no reference for this vehicle even when i've selected fogs? I'm sure someone who can use dialogys better can find them for you and confirm the above is correct.

 

[Russ.]

cheers for that mate. thinkin about touring the local scrappys soon for a stalk, think thats a wise idea? (also will hopefully allow me ava bit of practise removing thesteering wheel before i do my own lol)

the lamps may be an ebay job but see if the scrappy has any. pleased the wiring is in though.

whats the situation on the relay likely to be anyone know?

 

[bmh.01]

Yeh the scrapy should be a good idea because if you can find one then you can get the job lot stalk, loom and lamps and it should be a damn sight cheaper than renault and you can also see how it all went together.
Can't help you on the relay frontier other than there is a click from the passenger side fuse compartment when I turn them on, though there aren't any visible relays there.

from renault it's about £150 for the full kit. Wiring it isn't that difficult providing you're lucky enough to get a Clio that is fully pre-wired. Mine had the cable behind the bumper, but no space in fusebox for new fuse or relay, no wiring to stalk and nothing to the dash lights. I discovered that the front of the car is standard pre-wired but the cab (so to speak) is seperate and it seems a bit of a lottery as to whether you got one pre-wired or not.

 

[Russ.]

what model clio did yhou have out of interest daz?

 

[Da]

Mine is the Authentique mate.

 

[Martin_172]

so if you have a space for a front fog light fuse in your fuse box you should be fully wired?

 

[V1NNY]

yeah i was thinking that too, just need to find the wires

 

[Martin_172]

to be honest if ive not got the wiring there im just going to buy the actualy lights and put them in, just finishes the car off better couldnt care if they work or not lol obviously its a bonus if they do!

 

[V1NNY]

Yeah i must admit they do make your car look better, shouldnt have them on in normal conditions either, but they do look good though

 

[Russ.]

to be honest if ive not got the wiring there im just going to buy the actualy lights and put them in, just finishes the car off better couldnt care if they work or not lol obviously its a bonus if they do!

im working under the same principles mate. other thing i mite investigate is wiring in a rocker switch somewere with a perm 12v (fused), then run a switches live to the lights and ground them to the chasis, im thinking that should work unless anyone is able to elaborate?

that will work yes russ, but surely (in a resale sense) it would be better if you're going to the trouble of doing all that then just fit the OE kit. People don't often like to see a butchered dash to make way for fog lights. Also if you opt for that method you will not have the dash display light showing when the fogs are lit.
