Well just fitted my front fog / driving lights and it is simple. Once you have found the right fog light switch for inside, that is the hard part. All you need is a standard 4 pin 30amp relay, cost me £3.xx from the local motor factors.

It goes in the top left socket of the relay sockets under the dash, it can go in a number of ways first time it didnt work, think is was with the writeing the right way up but turned it 180 i think. Once your hand is up there plenty of room to feel about (well almost).

Also you need to put a jumper accross the green socket bottom left of the relay sockets. There are 3 ways to set up the light but i connected the middle one to the top middle with a piece of wire and some spade connectors. This makes the fogs / driving lights come on with the main beam. Which i think is more handy having extra light on main beam than just using them in the fog. Plus you cant drive around with them on like a chav!!.

The only problem is the light on the switch (little green one) to say they are switched on doesn't come on. (prob need the volvo relay) Not a problem really as the lights only come on with the main beam, and you have a light on the dash for that. But the front fog light icon on the switch lights up at night.

Then all you need to do is fit the lights on the front wire up, i needed to extend the wires, and away. Took me a couple of hours but it is a nice day so took my time.

Cost me the price of a switch off ebay £5.00 ish, relay, cable, connectors plus what ever lights you fit.
Simple
Cheers Bob........
