Re: Looking for a bit of help with the Nissan towbar electrics.

Success!! problem resolved! The grey wire in the kit for the rear fog is meant to become the new power supply to the car fog light. I had cut into the harness at the wrong point.

I came from a 2013 astra estate which I have to say was a better made, handling and far more powerful car. T...
