VY V6
Hi there,
i brought my parents some fog lights for their 2004 vy v6 'S' commodore for xmas.
After removing the small circle covers, for where the spot lights go, i have no idea how to hook them up, like where do i connect the wires so that they turn on when the head lamps are on high beam? I belive there are some wires behind the fog light covers.

the fog lights are narva compac 70.

So yeah, dont really know what im doing, so some help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

If the car doesn't have wiring installed, you'll have to make your own loom - quite simple. There should be a wiring diagram on the back of the packet.
There's a bit more info here if you want to use the original VY style switch.

FOG lights should be on their own switch and not wired into the high beam because having the high beam on (and/or low beam) will defeat the purpose of having fog lights - when driving in fog, you'll just have parkers and fog lights on.
If you use the VY headlight/fog light switch, you can turn off the low beam and just have the fog lights on.
