Hi guys sorry if this has been discussed before but i couldn't find anything when i searched. I'm wondering whether the '91 model turning lights can be directly replaced with '95 fog lights and whether they use the same plug to connect them. Any advise would be appreciated. Cheers

NO they use a different Plug..

The correct terminology of the 1991 - 1993 lights are cornering lights. They use a 22w globe ( i think ) and are normally activated when your indicators are on.

The 1994-1996 ones are Driving lights, they actually use 55w globes and use a different plug ( from memory ) .

Dont quote me 100% on it, but i think im close :-)

Sorry to hijack bob, but does anyone know how you would wire the fog lights when changing from a 91 to a 95 bar?

You could just wire them up like any other fog/spot lights, with a relay and a switch on the dash.

Or use a relay and have it connected to your high beam switch.

Supercheap and the like usually sell relay 'kits' to achieve this. All you would need then is a plug to suit the lights, or use some crimp terminals to connect them up.

I see... a relay hey? That sounds easy enough. Thanks Ben
