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.

If you don't have factory-fitted front fog lamps, you might consider buying a pair from a local vehicle junkyard (taken from a dead Jimny).

Required parts

Main notes:

• The exact required parts depend on which front bumper revision you have.
• 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 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 gen.) 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.

Parts compatibility

Lamps

Fog lamps differ for 1st. gen front bumper and for later generations of front bumpers:

• 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.
  • Another compatible front fog lamp model for these front bumpers is P.N. 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.

Note: All fog lamps 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.

• Compatible fog lamp brackets for 1st gen. front bumper are P.N. 35526-81A01.
  • 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 in-cabin console switch appears to be the same in pre-2006 Jimnys (with the older console version), and in post-2005 Jimnys (with the newer console version), but it has not been confirmed if they are identical.
• 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.
