Single Rear Fog

As in the title I am wondering whether the second fog can be made live so the two come on like on the Zafira A
Has anyone enabled the second rear foglight I have 2 Zafira B's to do this to.
Cheers
Roy

im sure you could run a wire from one side to the other

Was looking at VXROnline and they have a nice little how to guide granted its missing the photo's but the text is still there.
Should be a simple mod imo

I have since heard you can buy the bulb holder with fog light track in place as the wiring is already there need to look into this though so shall update as soon as I 100%.

that would save a lot of hassal if you can do that mate

Well discussed the possibility of getting the 2nd unit and I was told by vx they could get it however you can only have one side working left or right the onboard computer cannot be set to have both sides on at the same time, sounds daft imo so this rules out that Idea.
To have the second fog enabled was suggested to have an auto electrician daisy chain the second into the loop.

you would only have to run a wire from one side to the other and get earth from somewhere

Load of rubbish from the dealer.



I have both rear fogs working in my 57 plate Zafiy.
All you need is a spare female pin (take one out of an old ISO block) 1/2m of wire and that’s it.

Feed the female pin into the plug that connects to the near side rear light; splice this into the blue/black wire running in the loom found in your boot tool tray. Job dun. You don’t even need a bulb because there is one already in there as standard.

Works fine with no canbus problems.

something else to look into at the weekend

done this fix to all the vauxhalls i have owned, simple job, and legal if driving abroad.

Cheers for the responses I have to admit I haven't had the free time to sort this been all work work work at the moment.

Might have a look at the weekend if I can been wanting to do the airbox mod aswell but even thats had to go on hold

Please don’t bother with the Air Box mod its proven not to work, can even lead to poorer response.



All this proven on a Dyno.

Cheers for the Head's up, might have a rethink to much mixed results.

I did this to my Zaf A when i had it and it made fuel economy and response better, thought it'd be the same with the Zaf B oh well.

bulb holder already in place just need a length of wire with a din terminal fitted to one end and join to wiring on nearside loom,
leave enough length so you can remove the light cluster.

did this to my zaf b yesterday. took about 30minutes to do.
bulb holder already there, bulb already there. just run wire from fog light wire at other side and fit din terminal,connect up and job done.

THERE IS NO NEED TO BUY ANYTHING FOR THE LAMP AT ALL BECAUSE ITS ALL THERE ALREADY ONLY NEEDS A LENGTH OF WIREAND A DIN PLUG SOCKET TERMINAL, WIRE UP TO FOG LIGHT WIRE ON N/S OR O/F SIDE LOOM IT WOULD BE BEST TO SOLDER THE JOINT.

MINE EVEN HAD THE BULB IN THE HOLDER.

THE LAMP IS ALREADY EARTHED.

Right seems Its a straight forward job I'm going to be doing this on two Zaf B's very soon cheers for all the advice

quite right could not remember for a minute (thats what getting old does to you )

Just taken a look at the rear lights behind the panel to get an idea where i'm going with this fog light Can anyone give me a starting point or a detailed break down of the job Took 1 look behind the plastic panel and put it straight back, sorry guys , i managed to fit my washer jets though!!
