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.

• As far as it is known, all Jimnys 4 have front fog lamps fitted as standard equipment.
  • Therefore, this article contains instructions on retrofitting fog lamps only for Jimnys 3.

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 the production lifetime of Jimny 3.
  • 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:

1. A pair of fog lamps;
2. A pair of mounting brackets;
   • Exception is if you have the newest (3rd model) front bumper revision - it has integrated brackets.
3. A rectangular button / switch for the driver's console;
4. Possibly the wiring (preferably original cables with connectors etc.);
   • Your vehicle might already have the required wiring.
5. 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 retrofit 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 3 revision / type, so read the notes carefully.

For Jimnys 3 type 1-5 (with 1st model front bumper):

1. P.N. 99000-990YZ-011;
   • This is the oldest upgrade set ever offered.
   • This set contains the same parts which were originally used for 1st model front bumpers as a factory installation.
   • It is compatible with Jimnys 3 type 1-4, but not with type 5.
     • Type 5 is a "transitional" production edition from 2005 with 1st model front bumper but with 2nd edition 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.
   • This complete upgrade set might not be available from Suzuki anymore, because they usually offer a "revised" set for 1st model front bumpers (see the next set below).
     • If the complete set is not available, perhaps some individual parts might be, or you could scavenge the entire set from a dead Jimny 3.
   • This set includes:
     1. A pair of fog lamps model 35500-74F50;
     2. A pair of mounting brackets model 35526-81A01;
     3. Fog lamp surrounding bezels model 99000-990YZ-B03 (for left side) and 99000-990YZ-B04 (for right side);
        • These are used for "flush" fitting of the fog lamps into the holes in the front bumper;
     4. Wiring harness for the engine bay (connection to the fog lamps), OEM P.N. 99000-990YZ-A05;
        • Includes a fuse;
     5. Wiring harness for the cabin console (connection to the in-cabin button / switch), OEM P.N. 99000-990YZ-A06;
     6. Relay P.N. 99000-990YZ-A07;
     7. In-cabin button / switch P.N. 37270-75F10;
     8. Various small bits (screws, nuts, bolts, clamps, ties, etc).
2. 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 3 type 1-4, but not with type 5.
     • Type 5 is a "transitional" production edition from 2005 with 1st model front bumper but with 2nd edition 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 3 type 1-4 with 1st. model 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.
   • According to the pictures from the same report, this set appears to contain a much newer front fog lamp model 35500-63J04 (usually used on 2nd and 3rd model front bumper) and a special bracket (P.N. 35566-81A30 for left side and 35526-81A30 for right side) to mount it to a 1st model 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 model 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);
3. 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, a pair of bezels, one in-cabin switch, wiring, relay, fuse and some screws.
   • It is assumed (but not verified!) that the included fog lamp model is 35500-63J04.
   • This set is officially only for Jimnys 3 type 5.
     • Type 5 is a "transitional" production edition from 2005 with 1st model front bumper but with 2nd edition 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 assumed that the lamps, brackets and bezels in this set are the same as in the set 99000-990YZ-035, but that the wiring is different.

For Jimnys 3 type 6-8 (with 2nd model front bumper):

1. P.N. 990E0-84A02-000;
   • Suffix "-000" should be omitted in some searches.
   • It is assumed (but not verified!) that 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, relay, fuse and some screws.

For Jimnys 3 type 9-12, (with 3rd model front bumper):

1. P.N. 990E0-57M51-000;
   • Suffix "-000" should be omitted in some searches.
   • It is assumed (but not verified!) that the included fog lamp model is 35500-63J04.
   • It is assumed (but not verified!) that this set contains exactly the same parts as the set 990E0-84A02-000, with the exclusion of the pair of fog lamp mounting brackets.
     • This is because 3rd model front bumper has integrated front fog lamp brackets;

"Fog lamp + bracket" combos

• Fog lamp model 35500-74F50 and bracket model 35526-81A01 are available in a combo set P.N. 99000-990YZ-B01 (for the left side) and 99000-990YZ-B02 (for the right side).
  • It is not known why there are two differently named sets (specifically for each side), since both the contained fog lamp and bracket models fit any side equally.
  • Perhaps it could be that the fog lamp surrounding bezels model 99000-990YZ-B03 (for left side) and 99000-990YZ-B04 (for right side) are also included respectively (but this is not verified!);

Separate parts

• An alternative to buying entire fog lamp retrofit kits (usually from Suzuki dealers for a premium price) is to buy each required part separately.
• This method can be much cheaper, especially if buying used items on a used items market or from a vehicle junkyard.
• However, not each part (lamp, bracket, etc.) is mutually compatible nor compatible with each front bumper model.
• In short, there are:
  1. Two different fog lamp models;
     • One of those models has three slightly different "sub-models";
  2. Three different lamp bracket / carrier models;
  3. Two different lamp surrounding bezel models;
  4. Probably three different wiring setups (with two different connector shapes);
  5. One available wiring connector adapter at the "fog lamp to wiring" connection point (for one particular setup combination);
  6. One in-cabin console switch model;

• The following few tables below serve to portray which official part combinations are possible.
  • In other words, use the tables below to determine which fog lamp model fits to which Jimny 3 type (front bumper model) when used with which bracket model and possibly with which lamp surrounding bezel model and possibly with which el. connector adapter.

Notes on lamps

• All front fog lamp models are built to suit both the left and the right mounting position in a front bumper.
• As evident from the tables above, both the 2nd model and the 3rd model front bumper use the same fog lamps.
  • Those fog lamps can also be used in the 1st. model front bumper with certain adapters, since that front bumper model has its own different "default" fog lamp model.
• The following three fog lamp models appear to have exactly the same dimensions, shape, bulb, el. connector and mounting points to the brackets:
  1. 35500-63J04 - "main" / standard edition from Suzuki (with exceptions below);
  2. 35500-63J02 - meant for the African market;
  3. 35500-63J00 - used only in Jimnys 3 made by Santana in Spain;
  • The actual differences between these three fog lamp models are unknown - possibly beam pattern or clear / ribbed glass?
  • These same fog lamps are also used on some Suzuki Alto, Celerio, Vitara 2 (1998-2005), Swift and SX4 vehicle models.

Notes on lamp mounting brackets (carriers)

• Brackets / carriers are required for mounting any fog lamp model to 1st and 2nd model front bumper.
  • The actual bracket model depends on the combination (see the tables above).
• The 3rd model front bumper already has fog lamp brackets as its integral part.
• Bracket model 35526-81A01 is the only model which is interchangeable between the left mounting side and the right mounting side.

• 3rd model front bumper - view from inside - enlarge the pictures and note the screw holes in the integrated front fog lamp brackets, to which the fog lamps directly attach
• 

  Left part

  Right part

Notes on lamp surrounding bezels

• In some combinations (as indicated in the tables above), surrounding bezels are required to achieve nice "flush" fitting of lamps inside the bumper holes.
  • Otherwise, there would be ugly gaps between the fog lamps and the bumper, which would make the setup look like an aftermarket improvisation.
• 3rd model front bumper already comes with a pair of "blank" bezels attached in the place of fog lamps.
  • The "proper" bezels look exactly like the "blank" bezels, but only with a pre-cut hole for the fog lamps.
  • Therefore, in theory, there is no need to buy "proper" bezels for retrofitting fog lamps to a 3rd model front bumper, as it should be (in theory) possible to carefully cut suitable holes for the fog lamps in the default "blank" bezels which are already present in the bumper, and achieve exactly the same look and finish.
    • However, someone needs to try this in practice and report.
• The P.N. of bezels, which are required for flush fitting of fog lamp models 35500-63J0X in the holes in the 1st. model front bumper, is currently unknown.
  • However, it is known that a pair of those bezels come included in complete front fog lamp retrofit sets 99000-990YZ-035 and 990E0-76J10-000 (see more in the chapter about complete retrofit sets).

Wiring

• Some Jimnys 3, which were produced without front fog lamps, still have all the required wiring (cables, connectors, relays, fuses, etc.) for them already installed.
• Therefore, you should first check for the presence of wires with unused el. connectors in the vehicle.
  1. For the connection for the fog lamps, first check in the engine bay, just behind the head lamps (usually front left).
     • If not found there, then check somewhere behind the front bumper (after removing the front inner wheel arch liners).
  2. For the connection to the console button / switch, check inside the console in the cabin (see the chapter about the installation of the console button / switch).
• If you find both unused el. connectors (for the fog lamps and for the in-cabin switch) in your Jimny 3, consider yourself lucky.
  • In that case, you then only need to connect the in-cabin switch to the unused connector and mount the fog lamps with brackets to the front bumper and connect them to the unused el. connector.

• If you find no unused wires and connectors in the vehicle, you will also need to obtain suitable wiring harness kit(s).
• You can also buy one of complete fog lamp retrofit kits mentioned earlier in the article.
  • That way you will eliminate any risk of missing any of needed components.

• The wiring harness kits appear to be separate for the fog lamps and for the in-cabin switch.

1. The wiring harness kit in the engine bay for the fog lamps is P.N. 99000-990YZ-A05.
   • This kit also includes a 15A in-line fuse and a plug to the relay, but not the relay itself.
   • It is currently not known if this kit is compatible with every Jimny 3 revision and every fog lamp model used!
   • However, it is known to be compatible with Jimnys type 1-4 and fog lamps model 35500-74F50.
2. The wiring harness kit in the console for the in-cabin switch is P.N. 99000-990YZ-A06.
   • It is currently not known if this kit is compatible with every Jimny 3 revision!
   • However, it is known to be compatible with Jimnys type 1-4 (with old style interior console).
3. The relay is P.N. 99000-990YZ-A07.
   • There is another relay P.N. 95572-63C00 which is instead mentioned in some other catalogues.

• There are two types of wiring connectors for front fog lamps in Jimnys 3.
  1. The first connector type was used in all Jimnys 3 type 1-5 (which originally came with 1st model front bumper, from 1998 to approx 2005).
     • This connector type is compatible only with front fog lamp model 35500-74F50.
       • Other fog lamp models can be connected to it through a suitable connector adapter 36813-54G20.
  2. The second connector type was used in all Jimnys 3 type 6-12 (which originally came with 2nd and 3rd model front bumper, from approx 2005 to 2018).
     • This connector is directly compatible with all fog lamp models 35500-63J0X.
       • It is incompatible with front fog lamp model 35500-74F50 (which was not meant for 2nd and 3rd model bumpers anyway, since no brackets for that combination are available).
         • However, a required el. connection could probably be made by cutting the connectors off and soldering the wires directly.
• Regarding the wiring in general, 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".

Console button / switch

Main info

• The switch appears to exist in two editions:
  1. Older model P.N. 37270-75F10;
     • This model presumably fits Jimnys 3 with older (1998-2005) style interior and in-cabin console.
  2. Newer model P.N. 37270-76J00;
     • This model presumably fits Jimnys 3 with newer (2005-2018) style interior and in-cabin console.
  • Both switch editions appear the same - add info about the differences and compatibility if you know them!
• 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.
• 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 3, 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).

• In-cabin front fog lamp switch (it's P.N. is unknown), removed from an unknown Suzuki vehicle
• 
• 

How to install the switch in the console

• Use a flat-bladed plastic (not metal!) tool for the removal, in order to avoid damaging or scratching anything.
  • It is best to prise an object off a little bit at each side at a time.

For pre-2006 Jimnys 3 (with 1998-2005 interior)

Location and appearance of front fog lamp switch position and the matching el. connector

1. Leverage the tool directly against the blank itself in order to prise it off.
2. If the connector for the front fog lamp switch is already present behind in the hole, just connect it to the your new front fog lamp switch.
3. Test if the switch works.
4. Just push the newly connected switch into the opening - it will simply click in.

For post-2005 Jimnys 3 (with revised 2005-2018 interior)

1. Notice that there is a bezel / enclosure which surrounds all three switches /blanks in the cluster in the console.
2. Do not use the tool on a blank itself, but instead on the bezel / enclosure in order to remove it from the console.
   • The entire enclosure will come off, including all three switches / blanks inside it.
3. 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.
4. Then just push in the front fog lamp switch in the empty slot in the enclosure - it will simply click in.
5. If the connector for the front fog lamp switch is already present behind in the hole, just connect it to the your new front fog lamp switch.
6. Test if the switch works.
7. Then just push the entire three-switch cluster enclosure back in the console - it will simply click in.
