Has anyone done ,or looked into adding the lusso fog lights to the classica?.
for the rear fog lights?Someone that installed new horns stated that the wiring is there in the Classicas for the fog lights, but that doesn't mean the switches/relays are in place too.
Pretty sure the 3rd brake light runs at LESS than 12 volts. The flasher I have (an older spare one that I used on my bikes) resulted in a MUCH dimmer light when inline than when the line was ran stock.i actually bought a module that flashes the brake lights and is programable but hadn't gotten around to install it before the incident. I wanted to trace the wiring and find a connector and disconnect and install a jumped in between with this module and then i never have to have splices and easy to put back to factory later if desired.
I was referring to the front fog lights. I've actually never heard of rear fog lights until a few days ago. I'm sure in my Classica, those are just reflectors, right?for the rear fog lights?
this would shock me as i would expect all the brake lights to be run off the same feed. please let us know after u figure this out.Pretty sure the 3rd brake light runs at LESS than 12 volts.
+1. CHMSL assemblies, especially LED units have always been 12 V to my knowledge.this would shock me as i would expect all the brake lights to be run off the same feed. please let us know after u figure this out.
i am hoping/expecting to find a connector either behind the trim inside or in trunk/boot area. but it is probably a larger harness to feed all the other things back there and will require a bunch of jumpers
I would think so also.. but all I know is that the 12v LED capable blinker unit resulted in a loss of about 2/3's the brightness of the lights when applied with the unit in line on the 3rd brake light.+1. CHMSL assemblies, especially LED units have always been 12 V to my knowledge.
I must admit that the ones on the Abarth look 'weird' when they are on, compared to the bright LED headlights. Making them 'fog light yellow' would make them deliberately different rather than 'we put these nice lights in the headlights but cheaped-out on the fogs'.sorry, yes i kinda have hijacked your post. pretty much it comes down to what you would like. i like fog lights a lot for the extra visibility of others being able to see me, not for giving me more light to see the road. so i advocate for figuring out how to do that. i did like the thread where someone wanted to swap out bulb for a yellow one which to me would add additional visibility since the oddness would break people visual autonomous habit while driving.
Agree completely! Do you think you could just plug in LED lights to the fogs, or is there more to it then that?I must admit that the ones on the Abarth look 'weird' when they are on, compared to the bright LED headlights.

I'll probably be doing that, but haven't been under to determine bulb type (H11?), etc. The fender well need removing I think. I'm in progress changing the springs/sway bar so might take a bulb out and see if I can find an LED equivalent (I recall there's a thread on here regarding bulbs and bulb equivalents).Agree completely!

The owners manual shows it as a H11 bulb, which coincidentally is the same bulb in the Halogen low beams. Could it be as simple as swapping in OE low beam bulbs... that way the LED matches EXACTLY.I'll probably be doing that, but haven't been under to determine bulb type (H11?), etc. The fender well need removing I think.
