Introduction
- If your vehicle already has front fog lamps (in the front bumper) installed from the factory, you don't need to read this article.
- Enjoy life instead.
- If you don't have factory-fitted front fog lamps, read this article to get acquainted with all compatible parts and options for installing them.
- Possible parts sources might be brand new parts from your Suzuki dealer, or from a local vehicle junkyard (taken from a dead Jimny).
- This article has several references to Jimny "types" (factory model revisions throughout its production lifetime).
- The wiki article "Manuals and Owners Guides" contains proper explanations on what each Jimny "type" represents.
Required parts
Main notes:
- The exact required parts depend on which front bumper revision you have.
- In some cases, it also depends on the exact model production "type" and/or if the vehicle has a petrol or diesel engine;
- There have been three distinct front bumper revisions throughout Jimny's production lifetime.
- See the wiki article "Front bumper issues" for some details on front bumper revisions.
- Read the detailed notes about parts compatibility in the corresponding chapter below.
You need to obtain the following:
- A pair of fog lamps;
- A pair of mounting brackets;
- Exception is if you have the newest (3rd gen.) front bumper revision - it has integrated brackets.
- A rectangular button / switch for the driver's console;
- Possibly the wiring (preferably original cables with connectors etc.);
- Your vehicle might already have the required wiring.
- Possibly some more electrics like a relay, a fuse etc.);
- This part has not yet been investigated.
You will have to cut out plastic blanks in the fog lamp openings in the front bumper. That operation is irreversible. You could glue the blanks back if you abandon the project, but it will hardly look virgin again. Therefore, it is recommended to obtain all the required parts (especially the electrics), and test-wire everything first before you finally cut the bumper and mount the lamps.
You can get all these parts separately or as a complete upgrade set. The chapters below contain info on part numbers of complete sets, as well as of individual components.
Parts compatibility
Complete upgrade sets
Each of these sets should contain every big and little piece and part which might be needed to successfully install a pair of front fog lamps in a Jimny which has never had them. Not every set is compatible with every Jimny revision / type, so read the notes carefully.
For 1st gen. front bumper:
- P.N. ?????-?????-???;
- Suzuki probably used to offer a complete upgrade set which included (among other parts) fog lamp model 35500-74F50 and accompanying bracket model 35526-81A01 (the model combo which was originally used for 1st gen. front bumpers as a factory installation), but the part number of that set is currently unknown.
- Therefore, currently the only known way to obtain fog lamp model 35500-74F50 in a complete set is to either buy every required part (fog lamps, brackets, in-cabin switch, wiring, etc.) separately from Suzuki, or to scavenge a complete used set from a dead Jimny.
- This complete upgrade set is probably not even available from Suzuki anymore, because they offer a "revised" set for 1st gen. front bumpers (see next below).
- P.N. 99000-990YZ-035;
- This appears to be a newer "revised" set which replaced the previous set described above.
- This set is stated to be compatible only with Jimnys type 1-4, but not with type 5.
- Type 5 is a "transitional" production edition from 2005 with 1st gen. front bumper but with 2nd gen. interior and electric 4WD controls.
- The probable reason why it is not compatible with type 5 (although the front bumper is the same across types 1-5) is that the wiring might be different.
- Suzuki's OEM accessory catalogues as old as 2006 already offer only this set for Jimnys type 1-4 with 1st. gen front bumper, and have no mention of the previous set described above.
- According to a report from a German forum, the set contains a pair of front fog lamps, a pair of brackets, a pair of bezels for flush fitting in the holes in the front bumper, one in-cabin switch, wiring, fuse and some screws.
- This set appears to contain a much newer front fog lamp model 35500-63J04 (usually used on 2nd and 3rd gen. front bumper) and a special bracket to adapt it to a 1st gen. front bumper.
- The reason for the inclusion of the bezels for the front bumper is that the included fog lamps do not fit "flush" in the holes of a 1st gen. front bumper (they were not originally designed for it), so the bezels correct that.
- For diesel type 4 vehicles (with 48 kW engine and mechanically operated 4WD transmission), the following are additionally required:
- A relay 95572-63C00-000 (1 piece);
- An adapter cable 99000-990YZ-C13 (2 pieces);
- P.N. 990E0-76J10-000;
- Suffix "-000" should be omitted in some searches.
- It is assumed (but not verified!) that this set contains a pair of front fog lamps, a pair of brackets, one in-cabin switch, wiring, fuse and some screws.
- This set is officially only for type 5 Jimnys.
- Type 5 is a "transitional" production edition from 2005 with 1st gen. front bumper but with 2nd gen. interior and electric 4WD controls.
- The probable reason why it is not compatible with types 1-4 (although the front bumper is the same across types 1-5) is that the wiring might be different.
- It is not known which fog lamp model is actually included in this set.
For 2nd gen. front bumper:
- P.N. 990E0-84A02-000;
- Suffix "-000" should be omitted in some searches.
- It is assumed the the included fog lamp model is 35500-63J04.
- It is assumed (but not verified!) that this set contains a pair of front fog lamps, a pair of brackets, one in-cabin switch, wiring, fuse and some screws.
For 3rd gen. front bumper:
- P.N. 990E0-57M51-000;
- Suffix "-000" should be omitted in some searches.
- It is assumed the the included fog lamp model is 35500-63J04.
- It is assumed (but not verified!) that this set contains a pair of front fog lamps, one in-cabin switch, wiring, fuse and some screws.
- The set probably does not include a pair of brackets, because 3rd gen. front bumper has integrated front fog lamp brackets;
Separate parts
Lamps
There are several models of OEM front fog lamps, and not each model is compatible with each front bumper type.
- Compatible front fog lamps for 1st gen. front bumper are P.N. 35500-74F50.
- An exception appear to be all Spanish (Santana-built) Jimnys with 1st gen. front bumper, which use front fog lamps P.N. 35500-63J00.
- Compatible front fog lamps for 2nd gen. and for 3rd gen. front bumper are P.N. 35500-63J04.
- This means that both the 2nd gen. and the 3rd gen. front bumper use the same fog lamps.
- Other compatible front fog lamp models for these front bumpers are P.N. 35500-63J00 (used on Jimnys built by Santana in Spain) and 35500-63J02 (meant for the African market).
- These same fog lamps are also used on some Suzuki Alto, Celerio, Vitara 2 (1998-2005), Swift and SX4 vehicle models.
- All front fog lamp models are built to suit both the left and the right mounting position.

Lamp mounting brackets
- Mounting brackets differ for 1st gen. front bumper and for 2nd gen. front bumper.
- The 3rd gen. front bumper already has fog lamp brackets as its integral part.
- Suzuki Jimny - front bumper, 3rd gen - focus on integrated front fog lamp brackets - A01.jpg
Left part
- Suzuki Jimny - front bumper, 3rd gen - focus on integrated front fog lamp brackets - A02.jpg
Right part
- Compatible fog lamp brackets for 1st gen. front bumper are P.N. 35526-81A01.
- These brackets are compatible only with fog lamp model 35500-74F50.
- These brackets are built to suit both the left side and the right mounting position.
- Compatible fog lamp brackets for 2nd gen. front bumper are:
- For the left mounting position: P.N. 35566-84A00;
- For the right mounting position: P.N. 35526-84A00;
Wiring
- The wiring appears to be the same for all vehicle revisions.
- The only exception is the different connector for the fog lamp used in the 1st gen. front bumper vs. the connector for the fog lamp used in the 2nd gen. and 3rd gen. front bumpers.
- Regarding the wiring, refer to a corresponding wiring diagram manual for your vehicle revision (and for donor's vehicle revision if needed).
- You can determine the exact name of the corresponding document in a wiki article "Manuals and Owners Guides".
- It might easily be possible that the required wiring is already present in the vehicle (there are some reports that Suzuki installed the wiring for the front fog lamps in every Jimny).
- Therefore, you should first check for the presence of the wires and connectors somewhere behind the front inner wheel arch liners, and inside the console in the cabin.
Console button / switch
- The OEM P.N. is 37270-76J00.
- The in-cabin console switch is the same in all Jimnys.
- This includes both pre-2006 Jimnys (with the older console version), and post-2005 Jimnys (with the newer console version).
- It appears that the same switch has been used for the front fog lamps in Suzuki Vitara 2 (a.k.a. "Grand Vitara") (1998-2005).
- In a Jimny, the switch is located next to rear fog lamp switch in a three-switch console cluster.
- The cluster is located to the left of the steering wheel (for LHD vehicles) or to the right of the steering wheel (for RHD vehicles).
- The switch is a "permanent press-in" type - after you press it, it stays pressed in until pressed again. The switch also contains a small light indicator which is lit when the switch is pressed in.
How to install the switch in the console:
- Use a flat-bladed plastic (not metal!) tool to prise off the entire three-switch cluster from the console.
- It is best to prise it of a little bit at each side at a time.
- It will come off together with the three switches/blanks inside of it.
- When it comes off, you will be able to easily disengage a blank cover from it by squeezing the latches on the rear side of the cover.
- Then just push in the front fog lamp switch in the empty slot in the cluster.
- If the connector for the front fog lamp switch is already present behind in the hole, just connect it to the newly installed front fog lamp switch.
- Test if the switch works.
- Then just push the entire three-switch cluster back in the console - it will simply click in.
