Hey there,
None of our Australian variants came with rear fog lights from the factory. Since I’m getting Spirior taillights, which have rear fog lights, I thought it would be a good idea to install one.
I can wire everything up, but I also wanted to get the rear fog light dash indicator on. I looked at the EU service manual and found out that the R9 pin on the R connector behind the driver’s side MICU is actually the pin that indicates to MICU whether the rear fog light is on. So, I put a pin and a wire on that R9 pin on the R connector and tried grounding it (the same logic as the front fog light, where the R10 pin gets grounded when the front fog light is on). Unfortunately, the light indicator didn’t light up on the dash.
I was wondering if there’s more logic to it that I need to figure out to make the indicator work. Or, it could be that our MICU doesn’t have a program that can detect when the rear fog light is on.
