Re: rear fog light installed
I saw the way Ceasar had his RFL wired-up and I think it was the best method ever used by any of us.
He promissed to email me photos of the install and I'm yet to receive them.
As soon as I do, I will post them here and update the existing DIY Guides.
You may wish to PM him direct for advice.

Re: rear fog light installed
Brett,
Having wired my RFL to operate with the front fog lights at the same time, I find myself not being able to use the front fog lights that much because of this.
I think the best way to wire it up will be to have it connected to a stand-alone switch in the dash, the same way Noel has done, but the perfection of Ceasar's install.
The way Ceasar connected the wiring was to tap into the front fog lights wiring at the steering harness, therefore requiring no additional wires to be run in the fuse box in the engine bay.
He then ran a wire to an LED in the dash where it lights-up as soon as he flicks the RFL switch.
Very nice and clean install.

Re: rear fog light installed
Michael,
The answers to your questions are specified in Method #1 HERE
Don't get bogged down too much as to which wire leads where and think of using Method #3 as an easier way to overcome a very complicated bridging process between the base of both relays.
Fitting the rocker switch in this circuit is optional and it only serves a purpose to give you the ability to control the operation of the rear fog light by switching it on or off. In all cases it will only operate while the front fog lights are on, as this is where it is getting the power from.
The xtrails in Europe have a separate steering stalk switch setting to control the rear fog light, but because we don't have that setting and only have it for the front fog lights, we came-up with the rocker switch idea to compensate.
Nath: Read the instructions mate
