I ran a wire to pin 3 on the c33 connector from my switch and used the positive illumination feed (fed from tail light relay) from the (not fitted) rear diff lock switch connector as a trigger.
The problem I found with this on inspection of a wiring diagram is that the factory fog light relay is negatively switched so therefor requires my dash switch to be on the neg side.
Now because the relay coil positive is constantly energised (eg. is not energised from the park light circuit) its not as simple as switching a ground wire to the relay (unless you dont mind the fog light switch working independently of the park lights and ignition)
I have thought about seeing if the park light circuit from the indicator stalk is also negatively switched so i can tap into that but it seems to be computerised signals from a "column ecu" to the ETACS which negatively triggers the tail lamp relay internally in the ETACS.
So it looks like i will be going back to using my own wiring and relay or installing a GLXR stalk as I cant think of a satisfactory way around this bloody negatively switched factory relay!
Also after looking at the wiring diagram, i believe Harry is right in saying the instrument cluster fog indicator lamp should work by running a wire from pin 2 c33 connector to pin 11 of c113 connector which i think plugs directly into the cluster. (this wire to the cluster lamp is also missing in GLX, along with the wire from the etacs to the fog lamp relay as first mentioned by Sijmen)
Cheers
