Calling anyone with 6n 16v with factory fitted front fogs
Can someone kindly (if possible) take some pictures of the cable routing of the front fog lights especially the plastic ducting on the battery side?
It's been driving me mad when finished i hope to do a how-to so if pics are good enough i can put them on the how-to. tnx.

I got all the parts from various sources even down to the rubber grommets for the cables all oem but i wanna do a good job (as near to a factory install as possible) but i need to find the correct route for the cables from the headlight loom multiplug to the fogs,I got one part that is driving me mad it's called a cable holder part no.6NO 971 848 F i can see on etka where it should go but i can't seem to get it to fit I also don't know if the earths go into the multiplug or earth on the chassis.

in this case they prolly go into the multi plug as long as there are 2 pins
the cable routing, hmm dificult to say, what id do is route it where it seems sensible and then if theres any cable thats not secure see if it will go past any possible clipping points. failing that wrap the new loom to the original loom with electrical tape as its the least obnixious solution

Calling anyone with 6n 16v with factory fitted front fogs
I bought the conduit for the cables and all the clips,there seems to be a lot of earth points near the fogs i could use but i'm gonna try 2 find the earths in the multiplugs.
Anyone know if there is a relay for the front fogs? the wires are already there from the switch to the headlight loom multiplug and i'm getting 12v on the correct cable i suspect the relay for the rear fog also does front.
A little hint for anyone thinking of doing this to there car don't buy a new switch! I got a switch from a sharan from the scrap yard, you can take out 2 little plastic bits from that and swap them for the bits in your light switch and bingo you have the correct switch (pulls out 2 clicks) better than paying a dealer £50 quid.

Forgot to say, i have got etka, etos and elsawin and they mention a relay but that's it. I really think the rear fog relay does the front too as i have 12v at the headlight multiplug in the right place for front fogs (no warning light on the dash though), btw anyone got heated washer jets on their car? 16v came with heated jets and fogs as a package.

Got any idea where the heated jets wiring goes into the bulkhead? any danger of a pic of the wiring run? and a pic of your light switch? also do you get a warning light on the dash when you have front fogs only on?
Right then.
First the pic of the light switch (LHD), it's an old pic but it does show the thing.
Then the jets,
The underside of a jet:
Where they run underneath the bonnet:
Where they go down:
Where I *think* they go through the bulk head:
I just had a scary thought; I hope I'm right in thinking these are the heated kind!!
Oh well, hope this helps.
