FOG LIGHT SWITCH


CONTROL UNIT
To conform to the latest IVA regulation concerning the Rear Fog Lights on kit cars and imports,
CARTEK is pleased to announce that it has a simple and inexpensive solution to this new ruling.

Previously, a rear fog light could simply be switched ON and OFF, using a dedicated fog light
switch, as long as this switch was powered by the headlamp circuit therefore satisfying the
requirement that the rear fog light should only come ON if the headlights are ON.

Now, in addition to this previous requirement, the rear fog light must also turn OFF and stay OFF
when the headlamps are switched OFF. That is to say, if the headlamps are switched OFF then
back ON again whilst the fog light switch remains in the ON position then the rear fog light must
not turn back ON unless the driver specifically activates the rear fog light switch to do so. This
change in regulation is to prevent drivers from accidentally leaving their rear fog light ON when
not required e.g. the next day after making a journey in foggy weather.
Reference: IVA M1 Inspection Manual Revision: 8 Date: 17/06/2013, sec 28: Rear Fog Lamps, Note: 4.
