Posted: Thu Sep 09, 2010 23:09 Post subject: 2nd reversing light & fog light |
|
|
Ive just managed to drill the blank O/S/R light cluster and fit a bulb holder to wire in an offside reversing light (it always looked odd with only 1 light).
Ive also fitted a 2nd bulb holder in the N/S/R for a 2nd fog light (although the wires are there behind the cluster there is no voltage) does anyone know where the connection needs to be made, I have an Australian manual that shows 2 fog lights but I guess only one is connected for the UK LC Colorados. Mines a 2002 tdi. |

I have a Prado Grande imported from Australia, currently trying to install rear fog lights to make UK compliant. No wiring harness internally ( or simply cant find it ) for the switch so struggling to connect the switch to the lights etc.
Does you Aussie manual show any wiring diagrams for wiring up rear fog lights ?
Any advice or guidance appreciated. _________________ GB2010

Hi there,
I have looked through the manual and although there is nothing listed under the heading "lights" there is a wiring diagram that shows a "rear fog light switch" this is linked to the headlight relay via wire colour code R-BK (red black), the fog light wire colour code R-Y (red yellow) is shown leading to a box marked JC, I assume this is a junction box/dual connection.
This junction shows 2 R-Y wires leading to 2 fog lights, the negative side of the light is marked W-BK (white black).
So I assume your looking for R-Y (red yellow) +12v and W-BK (black white) ground/negative wires behind the rear light cluster.
A couple of questions:
1. Does your car have a factory fitted rear fog light switch?
2. My UK spec 2002 D4D Colorado has an additional fog light reflector moulded within the rear quarter mounted O/S lght cluster, can you see an additional reflector in each or both of yours?
If you dont have a factory fog light swith then I think its safe to assume that the wiring side of things is likely to be quite involved to retro fit.
That said if you can find the unused wires behind the rear light cluster then I assume the looms are the same for "with and without" fog light vechiles.
Obviously without the additional reflectors the light clusters will not emit a sufficiently bright light.
I hope this is of some help. Im happy to try and help further.
Good luck! |

The Landcruiser is originally delivered with simple red reflectors in the location of the fog lights in the rear bumper. I have now replaced these with actual red fog lights which plugged directly into wiring harness as part of original factory wiring.
The problem is that there does not appear to be a wiring harness/plug to recieve the fog light switch behind the switch panel.
Any chance you can scan the diagram and forward I can give you may email address if this is possible. _________________ GB2010
