W108 Rear Fog Light

Post by RHD108 »

Does anyone know exactly where the rear fog light single wire plugs into the tail light? My headlight switch has the green dot on it which I'm told lights up when the rear fog light is on.

I believe the Australian delivered cars (right-hand drive vehicles) have their rear fog light on the right-side. Left-hand drive cars have it on the left-hand taillight.

tbh I'm entirely sure what your question is. Are you asking which lens has the fog light or are you asking about the wire to the switch?

When you compare the left-hand and right-hand taillights, the right-hand side should have one extra lamp.
That'll be the rear fog light on a right-hand-drive car.

Could any one tell me how I can get my rear fog light to work? I see a single wire in the trunk which looks like a radio wire, is this it? Any pic would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Sorry all for the late reply but I'm finally able to log back onto this site! :thumbup:

I couldn't get the rear fog light to work by plugging it into either of the tail light housings so I just ended up wiring it up to a relay and push button switch that I hid under the dash.
