#1 (**permalink**) 07-12-2007, 01:47 PM

i wanted to fit some foglamps off a scrap s80, i have the complete
light switch with the extra f/l switch on, can i just connect the
lamps to the wiring under the blank fog lamp plates, or is there a
software change?

You can wire them directly which means they stay on when high beams
are on. Or you can wire them through the CPU which will shut them off
when high beams are on. In the latter case the CPU will have to be
set to recognize the addition of new lamps. Check with a dealer.
