The big question mark is: where does the other end of that pair of wires go? I pulled out the little area in the center console that has the cup holder and heated seat switches (empty center switch bay there) - there's no "unused" connectors laying around anywhere obvious under there, so it's not pre-wired to that area. There are no unused control settings on our left stalk that might be prewired to it. I'm lost as to what they did with the other end of the wires. Most likely, assuming the EU one is controlled from the stalk (can anyone confirm this?), it's probably wired to the harness connector for the stalk, but our stalk just doesn't use those pins, or those wires are simply cut off in the vicinity of the steering column. |

Pin 24 on connector M120 of the BCM has an orange wire plugged into it which drives the fog light with a 12V signal directly (diagram is on pg 52 of BCS.pdf). I haven't confirmed this with a continuity tester or anything yet, but it's not likely that it's disconnected anywhere in the middle. Odds are high that if you put a light back there and swapped in the Canadian version of the headlight/wiper control sticks module, it would Just Work, or worst case, would need some programming a dealer could do to enable the fog light. Alternatively (more likely what I'll try to do), it would be easy to snip the orange wire near the BCM connector and run it to that unused center console switch area. |

This is interesting. Slightly off topic. I wonder if the same BCM controls the JDM heated mirrors, and if so is it pre-wired for those? For me not having to manually wipe down my mirrors is more important than a rear fog light. Although the fog light does cover the butthole.

Oh and as for the switch, I'm planning to wire it to an ignition-controlled power source, so there won't be any concern about leaving it on to drain the battery. |

So my thoughts with the Z is too put in a lower watt bulb (same strength as tails) so that it's on all the time. And if at all possible maybe wire it up into the brake assembly. This way it works just like a 3rd tail light. I think this is a unique signature of the 370, having it on all the time will offer the best rear visibility for safety on any night. Otherwise, I think I may just purchase the Nismo rear diffuser and do away with it all together. :tup: |
