First you need the auxiliary foglight harness that clips into the back of the bumper (unless you have this part already). It jumps from one light to the other and has a third green male plug for hooking into the main loom.

Now remove the splash shield on the nearside and look near your horn for a factory foglight plug. It's a green female plug with a pale blue wire, and a yellow wire with green trace. Don't confuse it with a spare white plug (second horn) or blue plug (cruise control).

Hi Miggy,

I was undfer the impression that all Xantias came with the loom pre wired. Volvos do the same.....I might be wrong though?

Have a look for anything clipped up inside the front of the front wings if that makes sense. Also try pulling out the switch blanks ont he right have side of the steering wheel...if you find a multiplug then you know there is a loom somewhere....if that exists yet no engine bay loom to fogs exists then you should be able to get one from a scrapper?

Hi please can anyone confirm if they do have the prewired loom??.
Im in exactly the same situation in that my lovely new Xantia has had the front bumper replaced with a bumper with fogs.
Thanks again Minty

Series 2? If so, the foglight connector is there. You'll need a new stalk.
