Well at Yakushi I went to turn the fog light on and it did not work. Strange crackling type noise and the dashboard light flicked.
MMMM something not right I thought.
Swiftly turned them off.
Had a look today thinking it could be a fuse.
Wrong.
This is what I found.

A melted mess of wires.
It turns out that when imported it had the reversing light made into a fog light. (normal)
I then changed this to these

So it turns out that the feed for the fog light was run from the illumination live on the power door switch.
Not good as the wire is very very thin.
So too much heat caused by the power draw from the Eagle eyes and we nearly had a bonfire at Yakushi.
Today I made good the melted wires.
Run a new feed of 2.5ml wire from the rear lights to the fog light switch for the power to the fog lights.
All is good now.
I dread to think what would have happened if I was driving along with the tunes loud and turned the fogs on.

Had my new @Elementian built centre box fitted today by @Elementian and @Crazycraig and it’s awesome. I currently have the 18’’ one fitted and @Elementian has the 14’’, so videos will be posted at some point to show the tonal differences :)

Also had a visit from @peter strokosz who was having a mini service, plugs and throttle controller cleaned.
