I bought a F355Berlinetta last Tuesday I was trying to get the front fog lights to work Did not succeed I read the manual but could not find how to There is a light in the console to let you now they are on, but no switch!!
My exact recollection is unclear but try checking your manual for 'Parking Lights #39' section H3 - enjoy the car
I think you'll find the headlights have to be on as well, otherwise they won't work Edit: I just went and checked mine and I can't get them to come on either! That'll teach me to type without being sure!! Does anyone know how to turn them on? I assume it's the switch next to the "sport" switch, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
On my car they're not foglights. When you flash the full beam with the stalk the 'fog' lights light up. I don't think they come on for any other reason, at least not on mine. They could conceivably be driving lamps I guess. Easier and faster than lifting the headlights I've always thought.
If you turn the headlight stalk on the left of the steering wheel once forward, it will turn the parking lights (ambers and tail) on without popping the headlights up. Then the switch on the center console next to the sport button (second from the left) will turn the foglights on. These are the lights I use most of the time unless it's really dark out. Hope this helps.
In Europe, this ligths not are fogligths. They are flash ligths to make signals. We have only fogligths at rear.
That's interesting. Mine is a UK car, but I have now tried virtually every combination of switches and they simply don't come on, no matter what I do! Does the engine need to be running? (I haven't tried that yet)
Yes! Thank you. I just tried this on my car and they work. I have tried to figure out several times why I couldn't get them to come on and they weren't getting any juice to them. This is why I love F-chat. Thanks again.
That's right, I checked They are working as flashlights when the pop-up lights are down The blue light in the console is only linked to the pop-up lights so I was unaware that they worked Thank you cesarsim
I had mine reconfigured from 'Flash to Pass' to being regular fog lights. If I now switch the center sprung switch to the down position it energizes a relay that leaves the lights on. Flick it again and it deactivates the relay and they go off. This is extant of the Headlights but requires the Sidelights. I do get the green dash light on when the lights are switched on. They do however still operate with the headlights on and with nothing on I still have flash to pass but this time on the Light stalk when the headlights are off, where it needs to be, and not some switch out of my field of view! Incidentally, I had my Low Beam Headlights changed to HID and it makes a massive difference. Due to the warm up time of the HID's I still have halogen on high beam but they were changed to a whiter light so as to limit the differentiation between the Low HID's and the High Halogens. Don't ask me how all this was done, but if you pm me then I can give you the contact details of the guy who did it in St. Charles, IL. They have been working just fine for some eight months now.
Thanks for asking the question. I didn't want to sound like a stupid newbie. I've been trying to get them on because I believe in DRLs to ward off the evil sprits of unconscious drivers.
Mine stopped working a few months ago. They come on if i hold the switch but wont stay on unless I hold the switch down, so when some of you say they "flash" is this what you mean? I am assuming that something has broken in the switch itself as they used to stay on when i depressed the switch.
Since this is an 'old school' thread, I interpret the "flash" as a way to greet an oncoming car or to tell someone ahead to get out of the way by pulling on the turn indictor.
These lights are different depending on which country the car was going to . Mine is a uk car so the front fog lights don't work. The reason for this is they where designed as flashing indicator lights in Europe so in the uk version the fuses have been removed from the fuse box.
