Hello all again, my crossfire has arrived at the brandon VPC but it needs to go through customs. i have a very important question.

Do i need to do a light conversion?

Dont the crossfire's already come with rear fog lights? i belive when you turn the **** for your lights to the 3rd turn its 'suppose' to turn on the rear fog lights but mine american

so heres another question.

can i connect something or install a light in the socket?

i really dont want to pay 300 dollars to put an ugly red light underneath my bumper... any adice would be great!

On the UK Crossfires the light switch **** pulls out to turn on the fog light(s). Not sure if this is the same on the US cars though. I'm sure you could raid one from an MB breakers if you needed to.

 

When you turn the lights on you can pull it out once to turn on the front fog lights and a second pull for the rear fog lights us cars don't have rear fog lights so the second pull does nothing.

 

your right the second pull does nothing but is there a way i can make it turn on the fog lights?

i mean everything is there like a regular UK crossfire so what, all i would have to d is run wire and install bulb? i need to get my hands on a UK xfire and compare...

anymore insight would be great

You will probaby find all the wiring is there and you just need to do some mods at the lamp fitting end. I'll have a look at the schematics and lamp cluster on mine tomorrow. The UK cars have a fog lamp in the RH lamp and a reversing lamp in the LH, I'm sure you could do something like swaping a reversing lamp bulb for a red 21W and swapping some wires over. Where exactly in the UK are you?

 

hey woody sorry it took me so long. i live in Bury St Edmund which is in Suffolk which is about 40min North of Cambrigde. I am in the military and work at the RAF Lakenheath Base

Also for the UK spec Crossfire, is there a indication that comes on in the dashbaord telling you your rear fog light is on? I am getting it MOT'd tomorrow and i hope they dont make me pay $300 to get a light attached to my car...

thanks again, Clive
