Nice how to , I did mine a different way with 2 leds in the switch, one green , one red.

Bloody hellHe's only gone and finished it
Wow must be a first
Bloody good job Grim

yes, it's a first. well, i have occasionally finished the odd drift video (cough not rnd 4 or the final though cough)
cookie - yes, there are loads of ways to do the mod. hadn't thought of red/green. how are they wired, reverse parallel?
Grim, fab and really clear instructions.
Where I'm struggling a bit is in the parts required. I've looked on Parnells (all too difficult) and now Maplins web sites.
Would this do as the LED?
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...ldID=3&doy=3m2
5mm White LED, but what is the "mcd" thing, is it the brightness? 1800mcd to 6800mcd seems a bit jump.
As for resistors !!!Should they be carbon, what whattage etc Is it easy to walk into a Maplins and get sensible help?
I think thats the brightness, yeah, possibly stands for 'micro candellas', but that is a pure guess!
oh, and they're usually pretty helpful in maplin, you just need bog standard resistors, no need for high grade components!

I went to Maplins and bought a ultra-bright white LED and the resistors and followed Grim's guide today.
It all went very well and works brilliantly. Cheers Grim
Bright enough on side lights to find the switch and mega bright when the fogs are switched on.
sorry a little tardy, hadn't noticed the replies
resistors - any 1k ohm resistors will do. they do not have to be super powerful. 0.5Watt will be fine. anything bigger is fine too! probably 2p each
Terminal block any 4 way block from a motorfactors will do
The LED. I use a green one (clear lens, but green when it lights up.)
1800mcd (milli candle) is fine. 1000mcd is probably fine too. anything more will be fine. the more the merrier though!!
make sure it isn't a 12v led, as that won't work in the circuit.
link doesnt work anymore guys.
Not working for me either
The requested URL /grim/How_to/Fog Light Indicator.pdf was not found on this server.
SM's lost his freeby web space. the files have been moved somewhere for safe keeping.
just trying to find out where
Grim, any luck on finding link yet or could you please give switch pt no. and where from. Thanks
it appears the files didn't get transferred. and i don't have them on the work pc
but i do have it at home
will try to remember to bring it in
daveng3 it's the same switch you already have, not a new one
pm me for email
Grim can you PM me a link to this projects how to please?
it isn't hosted anywhere
but i can mail it
The most effective way to do this is to have the fogs turn the side light circuit on when they are turned on. This way the light warning buzzer will go off if you've left them on. This is how the S15 fog stalk control works... Got reminded about them this morning after turning all my other lights off.
now he fecking suggests it
actually this how to was "how to know your fogs are on when driving" so bugger off back to the flashy motor section
unless you would like to host the how to
I'll host your crap Grim
if you do the drifty video.
