Sounds like you need to break out that trusty voltmeter/dmm and get to work!

noobs answering the good old common noob question...this is why we have a search function here on the forums. 2 of you guys got it, the other 2 need to just hush.


If your SC is a 92-94, you dont have fog lights. You have turning lamps, and they are only supposed to come on when you use your turn signals..hence, we dont have a switch inside for fog lights. Only 95+ SC's had actual fog lamps.

You can do a retrofit on the turning lamp housing like I did, or follow the common trend and rewire the turning lamp to be on with your parking/city lights. Simply search "faux fog" and you will find out how.

And on a side note..please guys before telling him to bust out the multimeter, or no the lights arent wired properly, please search. Giving incorrect info doesnt help the confusion any.

yeah they're special foglights that help you to see through fog when turning - and turning only


yeah nah - this thread is answered and deadded - but before we let it slip down the page - let us all just reflect on ... why... during the early 90's "turning lights" were popular..

seriously.. on what PLANET is it necessary that the happenings on ONE side of your car get lit up in the event you make a turn - how is that helping anybody?

i guess back in the early 90's it was considered baller.

i'm sure in 20 years time we'll all look back at lil jon and question the appropriateness of spending 2 years' avergae salary on making a mouth guard encrusted with jewels and question how economically viable it TRULY was to drink expensive liquor from what appears to be a vase.

...also encrusted in jewels.
