after rummaging around under the bonnet I discovered (with help from goldstar - much appreciated mate) that my car already has the wiring for the front bumper driving lights, after checking the wiring diagram in haynes they are indeed driving lights as opposed to fog lights.
Anyway I toddled off to scrapper and picked myself up a relay and fitted it in the box at the left of the engine bay where it should go, I have fitted a 15A fuse in the fuse box next to the steering column which again haynes states it should be.
After doing all this I was led to believe that the driving lamps should now come on with main beam but unfortunately it didn't. I will add that I only had the drivers side light plugged in because I haven't yet found where the connector is hidden for the passenger side, or if I have to take a feed from the drivers side wires. Could anyone , if they know where it's hidden please enlighten me as to it's whereabouts?
I'm hoping the only reason the light didn't come on is because the relay is broken, think I'll take a trip to Nissan and get a new one from them.
will my current light stalk work the driving lights automatically with main beam or will I need a new light stalk?? what do the light stalks look like in a super s, are they just the same as the other micras?
I've included the wiring diagram from the haynes manual below, maybe someone could help me out and see where I've gone wrong, that is if I've gone wrong and it isn't just a dodgy relay Ive picked up.
P.S, if anyone has a super s bumper and need to wire up their fogs/driving lights have a look around where the screenwash tank is on the driviers side of the engine bay, if you already have the wiring in the car then there will be a connector tucked up in there. see the pics below, there is also a picture of what's inside the box where the relays go, and of the relay which I picked up at the scrapper.
P.P.S just ignore the red and yellow wires that can be seen in the second 2 pics, that was for the aftermarket fogs I had fitted, they've been taken out now along with all the wiring for them.
