Im looking at fitting front fog lights on punto gp 1.2, just wonderin do i need to fuse them or can just connect straight up to button? cus i have heard you can over power if they are not fused and can cause lots of problems

cheers

Yeah you will need to fuse them matey, wire them to the engine fuse box then fuse box to button, the amp you will need is 15amp matey

kk mate cheers for that

here you go Will do it properly or get someone else to do it, Badly wired and terminated electrics can cause a serious fire (as a mate of mine experienced fortunately he had a Halon fire extinguisher ((yes this is a fair few years ago))

You should NEVER wire fogs simply via a switch as unless you have a high rated switch it will overheat due to the excessive load...

have a read of this





20 amp fuse after the battery then 2x 10 A after the relay (one for each lamp)

(well that's what i used anyway)

Lee there is no harness in the GP and you can't make use of the blank or original relay positions

:yeahthat: The relay is the key component.

ok sounds a bit more complicated than i thought it was going to be, thanks for the responses, got a quote from fiat that they would supply the lights and fitting for £190 this any good??

Click to expand...

The lamps are around £50-£70 a pair so hefty labour cost

Thats quite a good price my local fiat told me about £500 as all the wiring might not be in place.

£500!!!!!! You would be out of your tree to pay that!

i know i was mega shocked by it wont be taking it there to get them done

No the wiring isn't there and there is No easy way of putting it in as it is in the factory as it would require a new multifunction switch bank Re-programing /replacing the the Body computer (as they are controlled Via that) getting the extra wires into the fuse/relay box

Try a decent auto electricians should do it much cheaper than a Dealer...
