Hi all, yes this is my first post so please be gentle with me?

First of all i'm the proud owner of a 2006 3.0si sport and what else can i say but wow :D

However i have noticed that only one of the fog lights works, the off side :(

It looks like from other posts that i have the face lift model.

On checking the lamp, tracing and metering the wiring i have found that there are two wirings that go seperately into the loom on the RHS.

Any idea's where they go too so i can check out the other end?
 
Only the offside works as a fog light. The other one does work, but only as part of the brake force display system - if you brake suddenly or hard enough that the ABS kicks in then it lights the brake lights AND both fogs to provide more warning to drivers behind. Perfectly normal :thumbsup:
 
Don't worry, you're not the only person to have been caught out about this. It was in my list of things for the dealer to "fix" when I bought my Z4. :roll:

Too late for me, just bought a new bulb for around £13 from the dealer to fix this.

At least you still have your sense of humour, given you posted... Made me :lol:

Welcome to the forum :thumbsup:
 
A spare bulb is nothing. I've spent way more than 13 quid on unneeded parts in the past. :oops:
