I am adding original front foglights to my FSI 1.6, and have sourced the lights, grills, wiring harness (from eBay Germany - search for: Audi A2 8Z NSW Nebelscheinwerfer Kabelsatz Kabelbaum Adapter fog cable harness) and the main headlight switch (with the front foglight position).
The very brief installation instructions that came with the wiring harness / loom said to just add the 12+ wire to the number8 contact in the light switch plug (and find a suitable ground/earth in the engine compartment). Which looks to be a working solution.
My question, is can the main headlight switch handle the current for the front foglights directly (2 x 55W halogen bulbs) or should I use a relay to provide 12+ to the foglights.
In addition, I am not sure where in the electrical lighting circuit the fuse for the foglights (number35) is when compared to the switch and the lights (so should I also have an additional fuse in the circuit after the switch and before the bulbs?).
Thx in advance for your advice.
