TF 115 1.6 Front Fogs
Well you will have to add any missing wiring ( sorry that I'm stating the obvious here , but it's for the benefit of those who might be reading this in the future )
You are best to consult the workshop manual wiring diagram for a comparison to establish exactly how much of the wiring you actually have and what you still require.
You can download the TF manual from the library section of this forum.
Alas in the last days of MG Rover production there was some kayos and they may have used parts of higher spec looms on lesser spec car because they had run out of the ed and the higher spec looms is what they had laying about at hand in the factory, there is no way of knowing exactly what your car has without physically checking.
That aside you will require the plastic mounts to fit the lights in the bumper, and will still need to activate the BCU to inform it that the fog lights are fitted with a T4 Test Book, or a Pscan diagnostic unit ( this last bit about the Pscan needs confirmation, as I can't remember If Phil has got around to adding this feature to his excellent Psan diagnostic tool yet.
But I do recall it being on his to do wish list)
It may be possible to do a work around that could bypass the BCU, but this would involve some custom wiring and using a latching type relay, and the require a fair level of auto electrical skill set.
It's the sort of thing that some members here such as Airportable and others here could do in their sleep but only confuse most, in fact a fair indicator of the skill set required would be if the term latching relay is understood.
I'm not trying to be a smartarse (It comes naturally to me...it's a gift!) I just don't know what level of skills you, or anyone else reading this might have.

I guess I need to remove the bumper and check for the wires being tired back somewhere. Maybe I'll get Lucky.
The only thing to think about is the bcu thingy.
Thanks

I was quite surprised all the wiring that was present on my 2002 1.6, Tweeters, rear speakers, electric mirrors, all just taped up out of the way
That's good to read. I have no tweeters fitted but maybe the wiring is there

Like Cobber, I didn’t have t-bar speaker wiring but I would have no problem fitting the electrics on an aircon system.

Fitting the tweeters was pretty easy. Others on here kindly measured the distance from the top and side, I drew round the inside of the tweeter locxking ring onto the door card, drilled a seies of small holes around the circumference which I then joined up with a knife. At the time Darren was selling original tweeters for £ 4 a pair so I couldnt say no.

Not quite a brown out, but enough for me to check later.

Not being a foot fetishist I don't really care about knocking socks off, but I would find it much more impressive if it had the ability to knock bras n panties off!Notanumber post=209303 userid=17316I put a mid range set of JBLs in my previous classic car and was really impressed with them. Certainly chalk and cheese compared with the standard fit, early 80's Ford, paper coned speakers they replaced. Im with you on the Carmina Burana, knocks your socks off, especially performed live.
