I am getting ready to install some fog lights on my 142, I have seen them in the factory accessory catalog. I was wondering if anybody out there knows the factory wiring diagram for this set up. I have found the fuse hook up under the hood, what else is there,? Maybe a relay? what does the switch look like? Where did they mount it?

Thanks

    Here is a pic of where I am going with all this, as this came from a factory accessory catalog.
    My biggest Largest question for all of the brick minds is where did they mount the switch on the dash and what did it look like, the wiring is quite simple with a fuse and a relay, hooked up off the Head light switch,on my 1971 hey even include a place for the fuse under the hood.

      Here's the picture of the fog light switch and placement, just to the left of the defogger switch.

        For some reason, probably to do with pilot error, I cannot seem to get a picture to upload on this forum from the Brickboard Picture Gallery. If you don't see it here, you'll find it there, under 164 Fog Light Switch Location.

          Got it thankyou
          it has been uploaded into the photo gallery
          I have found if you upload photos on this site it will not post them into your post, but they do upload into the photo gallery.
          If you upload your photos somewhere else like flikr, photobucket, or picasa to mention a view. You can then go to that photos page and right click on the photo, you will get a number of options, if you choose "copy image location" and then paste it in the image URL box below it will then show up in your post.:)
          For example here is a photo of my new Red Bull coil cover that is guaranteed to increase horsepower.I hope this helps out future bricks. On a added note I can assume that if you upload photos into the photo gallery, and then use the mentioned process with saving and pasting into the URL it would probably work, although I have yet to try it out.

      Looks nice but the set up I was talking about is even neater as the lamps fit within the grill and are therefore not exposed as the lamps will be mounted on the bumper. If this is what you already have then that's the less expensive option but if you can find the grill I am talking about I think you would find it a neater set up. The grill was exactly the same as the one in the photo but with the holes for the lamps already in it. Someone may know of this option in the US.

        I have seen the grill set up that you speak of yea that is nice and if I ever stumble across one I would definitely use that set up, as of right now I have the lights with a standard grill. One of IPD's project cars used it, it is also a 71 142e like my vehicle.

      The switch they used was the same switch used in the 145 for the rear wiper. It mounted in the same place as well, to the right of the steering wheel. I'll try to find a picture and post it.

    Depending on the year, I used to have a special grill which had holes where fog/driving lights could be mounted. There were brackets which mounted behind the grill to hold the lights. I don't remember having the wiring for this though.
    Someone may have a picture of this.

      I had the a pair of factory fog lights installed a few years ago and got the wiring and relay switch from Daniel Stern Lighting. I don't know where his contact info is at the moment. I'll try to find it and get back to you. Maybe someone else knows where to reach Daniel.
