g'day
the fog lights on my MA61 done work at all any more  i wired up an aftermarket light in the position where the fog lights go. I wired it all up correctly until i didn't tape it up tight enough and a small spark came out.. from past experiences it seems like something to caus a fuse to blow, but i dunno where the fises for hte fog ligths are ?? in fact are there any at all ? if its not a fuse problem what else could it be ? I have checked all teh fises in teh engine bay, i know none of them are labelled for the fog lights, i know there i a fuse box in the drivers and apssengers side kick box or what ever its called... would it be down there.. someone PLEASE HELP!!! i miss my fog lights!

needle nose pliers work.
or a fuse grabber tool, there should be one on the inside of the fuse panel cover

is there a wiring diagram on the packet that the lights came in?
i wouldnt go assuming that 1 wire is the +ve and both the others are -ve
another question, what rating is the fuse that keeps blowing and what are the fog lights rated at? might require a larger fuse.

Fuse for the OEM foglight/driving is in the drivers side kicker pannel and if only one light is working, you may have blown the other light... To find the fuse location pull the cover off and read the back of it.
And if you are running a trigger wire from else where like the cigrette lighter lamp, then check the dome fuse or other fuse used as a trigger wire.
Cheers.
