this is a difficult subject mate not many people have done it, as far as i know only GM who lives in ireland has sucessfully fitted fogs without fiat's help
firstly u need the switch pannel to go in the dash if you are locky you will get one from a breakers yard, if not then you will have to buy one from fiat.
the offside fog light has a wire to connect but you also need a length of wire to connect both fog lights and you need to fuse them i believe.
i have fog lights on my car but like you i don't have them wired up i just bought the bumper with the holes so i put fog lights in, one day i will get them wired up, but it isnt foggy in Hull so i don't need them

surely you coudl wire them up same as any set of aftermarket foglights?
and just use the switch in the dash if you can get the part, otherwise use a different switch?

was it ?
last time i drove in fog was when i went to ugc on kingswood about 18months ago, because there are no high buildings around that area the fog was just unbelievable, i couldent see 15ft infront of my car, lol it was madness, that was a time when i could have really done with some fogs !

Hi
I ended up getting all the parts new from fiat at a cost of nearly 500euro, which was a tad pricey. You'll need a relay which goes behind the glovebox, and the wiring on the bumper runs only to here, so you'll need to run a wire from there to the switch panel. Mine was a 97 1.4sx so yours may be different if its a mk2. Anyway i can give you a list of parts you'll need if you want to stick to official fiat parts.

I know its nivce ot have fiat parts, but a switch is a simply part, and its easy enought to run a wire through and you can buy the relay in a fog light fitting kit from halfords or similiar for a small price!
