Has anyone converted to a euro headlight switch and wired the rear fogs?

i installed euro bumpers years ago, never got around to wiring the rear fogs.

i have found the wires in rear harness but cant get power to them, I assume this is because my headlight switch doesnt have rear fogs(just front fogs)

what switch do I need for my 1986 v12?

is this a straight swap?

 

Hi,

On my car the rear fogs are activated by pulling out or pushing in (can't remember which) the rotating light switch. It is fiddly and usually confuses the mechanics in my garage on annual safety inspections.

Apologies if you are already aware of this.

Cheers,

The cars with rear fogs used a different switch, sometimes referred to as a "Euro" switch. I'll try to find a part number later; might take a bit of searching to find one in North America.

that would be great. Also, do you know if this is a straight swap? Current/original switch only activates front fogs. My understanding is the “euro” switch has an additional spot to turn on the rears.

 

I come up with part number DAC6913.

It should be a direct swap as far as mounting but I don't know if the plug/socket will pose any problems; probably not.

Is this the same?

 

DAC5956 was superseded by DAC6913

The parts numbers get tricky. For the XJS the headlight switch was sold with the mounting bezel/panel as an assembly. For the Series III sedans the switch was sold separately...under different part numbers.

I am 99% sure that all of these switches will directly interchange as far as physical installation goes.

i purchased the one on Ebay, will update here when installed. Finally get the rear fogs wired up
