any particular flavour of diode we should be looking at? :lol:

I just used mains 13Amp 230v ones as I had some of these of my shelf.

old thread, but never mind -
I'm going to use the lambda light for a fog tell tale. Does the light have to say 'fog' on it or have the rear fog symbol on it? or does it just have to light up when the fog light switch is depressed?

Yep mines like that too, its just spliced in so the lambda light is still connected to the counter but also comes on with the fog lamp.

The wiring should really have a diode to prevent the voltage from the lamp back feeding into the fuel computer (, unless of course the computer is not used anymore and has been disconnected)

presumably that's only if i retain the lambda light facility and only splice in the fog switch, rather than disconnecting the lamp from the counter and connect it up to the fog switch.
