 Fog lights
Ok I've bought some front fog lights. What's the best way to wire them up on a 2cv, and what do I need to buy that isn't the obvious? I know it ain't strictly 2cv related, but I haven't got a clue about electrics so any advice would be good.
Cheers, James

 Re: Fog lights
Ok I know the basics but the words like relay fills me with dread.  I just try and keep things simple, even though if I wasn't lazy and knew a little bit more fitting the relay would probably be easier

If I do I'm blaming you  Yeah anyway you're right. *stops being a massive twat, takes deep breath, mans up, gets out crimpers* I'll do it at the weekend, sans relay.
