Thebishop Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hi guys in my 1984 Berlinetta the light switch knob pulls out also is this for fog light as it is not working on mine. Also the button above the light switch knob what's this for as it doesn't work either ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne ingham Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) When you pull the switch out it is for the interior light , The switch above is for the rear fog light. Edited February 1, 2016 by wayne ingham More info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebishop Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks for the quick response really appreciate it, hopefully it's just the bulbs!!!!!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTAMAN Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Rear foglight not working is often the earth, it is supposed to earth through the bumper support. a perminant solution is to run twin flex to the fog lamp and in the boot connect one to the fog light live the other to an earth, like a lighting cluster earth.

Thebishop Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Quick update, headlights and interior light now sorted fog light still not working I think it may be the switch as it won't stay in and if I hold in still nothing????? Also my headlights are like two little candels even hi beams, they are 55w 12v , could I increase watt too 100w without causing or blowing something.

andyc Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 If you are going to uprate to 100w bulbs make sure the wiring is up to the job as the current draw will be more and could at best melt the wiring, at worst catch fire. Not sure what the lighting regs are in Ireland but in the UK 100w bulbs are for "off road use only" Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the relay, or rusty internal bulb holder, or bulb, or the wire cracked where it goes through the grommet........................ ....................in fact they love to not work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmantamik Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 if you upgrade to 100watt lamps you must use relays and upgrade the wiring or you will fry the main beam switch on the stalks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebishop Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Ah I think I will leave them at 55w but maybe a better quality bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiney_norman Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Ring do some excellent upgraded bulbs, I've chucked them in all of my cars and they do make an amazing difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmantamik Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 is the silver reflective surface in your lights more like battleship grey . if so that is the main problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
