Front Fogs

Rover 200/25/400/45/75 and MG ZR/ZS/ZT/F/TF use same type of fog lights. However fog surround depends on Rover/MG model and bumper make. NOTE that Rover 75 & MG ZT MK2 use different fog type - circular one and not oval.

Two types of fog exist - older type and newer type. External housing is the same.

Internally older fogs type have metal glare protection cup. From the rear side difference is that older type use H1 bulbs which are held in bulb holder

Newer fogs type use H11 bulbs, In this case there is no internal glare protection cap as H11 bulbs have one on themselves, and there is no bulb holder too, as H11 bulbs have one on themselves too.








Bulbs H1 and H11 CAN NOT be interchanged between these two types of fogs.





Following is the rest of parts that you will be needing if you intend to retrofit fogs on any MG F/TF car.


Mounting brackets and bezels










Relay





Switches and connector





Connector is actually the same for both types of switches,

You will need to create your own or buy existing (on the market) wiring for front fogs. Below is the wiring diagram which is actually the same for all models. I included few variants which you could use or not.

In case of MG F mk1 MG F mk2 and MG TF mk1 it is expected that you mount in-line fuse on the wiring.

In case of MG TF you can use existing place for fuse which you can see from installation guide.

This is a cracking bit of work, I would gamble my second best hat that this could have helped many past & present owners do the job in accordance with book & thanks to notanumber for wanting to do the job properly instead of guessing a position & riving a hole. I’ve seen a couple of cars where the lighting setup owed more to the inspiration of Clarence the cross eyed lion* than to any measuring instrument in my tool box.
* this reference is for older owners only, if you were ten + in the mid sixties you could well recognise the reference.

Thanks this is superb, Very comprehensive and exactly what was needed. I will follow it to the letter and just now need to find out if my 2002 TF is a mk1 or Mk2, as im not sure what year that changed.

The loom I was sent originates from an F so Ive just swapped over it's bulb connectors to suit the H11 bulbs in the TF fogs supplied.
