Forum Vendor has Rear Fog Light and CF Front Emblem!

TipsZ · 05-14-2009, 12:37 PM

Has anyone received and installed the light yet?

JDM_ED has the rear light installed, saw it last night at the Houston meetup, but he hasn't wired up a switch to use it yet.

I'm happy to report that my working J Spec rear fog light has been installed and is working quite well.

I had a dealer do the actual work but it was a fairly painless - we ordered a spare "heated seat" switch to put in the center (unused) space between the driver and passenger heated seat switches and it works perfectly.

The light came from motorsportauto.com plus the cost of the switch (about $17) and about two hours of labor.

I don't know how often I'll ever actually use the rear fog but the real thing is a lot more attractive than the dummy unit our American spec cars get plus it's nice to know the light is there if conditions warrant using it.

This is the "dummy unit" that was removed. The differences between the dummy unit and the functional unit is primarily the lens itself and the bulb assembly.

The "center" switch is the switch that controls the rear fog - it is a "heated" seat switch and occupies a space that is usually empty (covered by a "blank" switch cover - no cutting was required).

Functional Unit installed but turned off

This is the unit turned on - it will only operate if the car is running.

These images were taken with my camera phone and not in the best lighting conditions but hopefully they are good enough to give everyone an idea of what the unit looks like installed and turned on!

What's the word on tapping a switch into the BCS guys? That would be a lot sexier than all this crap involving wire runs with custom harnesses.
