BA Foglight Setup

RustyKaos · 02-04-2010, 07:48 AM

OK I'm getting the switch which I know just plugs in and the foggies are using the wires that are there already but what I need is the relay. What kind of relay and where do I wire it in? Pics would really help.

Cheers Jarrod

ok dont quote me on this but i was told that the relay resides in the front passangers footwell towards the outside of the car (so the far left side) i was also told that almost any relay with that pin configuration will fit in but i would use 100W just to be on the safe side.
i would also look at the pin config to c what to get

i was gonna do this but lost interest lol
hope others help more man

Correct!! oops...you said no to quote !

You can use any relay with 100W or more power rating. I bought mine from Jaycar . mazda relay will plug in straight any other relay you'll need to do some soldering. I usd some spade connectors to make jumper wires so that the relay can be plugged in.

Aha, so that's what the power source was that i used for the sunroof (temporarily)! I wondered if that was the fogs one.

yes, yes i did

*most* 4 pin relays have the example same pinout. it so happens that the 4 pin relay you get in supercheap lighting kits plugs straight into the stock loom. The one i had was rated at 100W. Never had an issue. I can pop the panel and check the pinout tomorrow if it helps?

If you need a hand let me know, buts its pretty simple

RustyKaos · 04-04-2010, 01:33 AM

Sweet. How much for the lighting kits from supercheap? Also can you get this relay separate from the kit.

Cosmo Dude · 04-04-2010, 08:24 AM

It's a generic Mazda headlight relay.

I looked through the catalogue for hella, narva and britax and none of them have a relay with that pinout configuration. If someone that has one can get me a part number, i may be able to scrounge one from the depths

Camera is flat. Its a Song Chuan, 804-1A-C1, has 09708 (or 09703, its pretty scratched) near the bottom.

Basic pinout is (imagine the press down clip bit on top)
_C_
|1 2|
|3 4|
------

where 2, 4 are the gate to power the lights and 1,3 are the coil (powered from the switch, or maybe earthed, cant remember. It plugs directly in, clip and all.
