that guide above is for USDM ludes and there may be a difference in wiring - i dont know

Well to be honest with you the Guide did actually let me locate the Blue Tape Pin for the Fog Switch located next to the Emergency Light Switch same wiring color with no change, the only minor change that i saw was the Fog Switch might have a change in Male - Female plug socket depending of the Year.

So like a 100% i will remove the Dash next Saturday to try to find the Brown 4 Pin

Scratch that checked your profile, its ukdm, all jdm's have the plug connector for the switch at the center console pre-wired in.

If your is a facelift BB4 like mine then the 4 pin brown connector near the fusebox is the one you want - the fog lights work when the relay is plugged into that - i know the manual/instruction say it is dieffernt colour wires but i could onyl find one 4 pin brown connector and plugged the realy in and the fogs worked fine. You should hear a noise from the relay and make sure you have your sidelights turned on.
My problem was the switch i have is from a 5th Gen and doesnt work. I got the fogs to work ok just need a 4th gen switch.

No worries - @Newkid helped me test the switch and fit the fog lights- i think he used a bit of wire to jumper a connection in order to test the switch- so you could ask him how he did this if you want to test your one.
I had assumed the switch was working ok big mistake as i ended up on a wild goose chase thinking i had plugged the relay into the wrong brown 4 pin connector. TBH if youve got a facelift import then all the wiring is there with the exception of the small extension for the relay and you dont really need that part. Its all plug and play-you dont need to remove anything under the dash except the fuse box cover

Hi
Well checking on that 4 pin brown connector, did verify that the connector located in the fuse box inside did work with no problem.

only problem was that 1 of fog light bulb is burned

so i have to change the bulb.
