Hey,

The engine compartment fuse box #12 is a 30 amp mini. This is the main headlamp fuse. The interior fuse box #4 and #8 (10amp minis) control the left and right low beams. Fuse #33 (15 amp mini) controls the high beams.

fuses are usually located under the steering column or when you open your driver door ,inside that area.

There is a common problem on this unit for this problem and that is that you have a bad Body Security Moduale or for short they call it a BSM...

But there are two problems with replaceing this unit on your own ,, one is that it is hard to get to ,, its located behind the rear seat back ,, left rear upper corner of the rear seat back ,, and its hard to access it ,,, the second problem is that only the dealer can replace it , due to you have to **** out some programing from the old moduale and put it back into the new moduale ...

but if you want to confirm that the moduale is the problem ,, then start the truck up and turn the auto heal damps on ,,, and make sure they are activated on , you are in the shade or in the dark ,,, and then smack the seat back hard on the upper left corner and see if the headlamps pop back on ,,, if they do then you know for sure that this is your problem

I would call around to two or three dealers and tell them what you want replaced and get the best deal on having them do this

Scenic 54 reg hi beams and front fogs not working

It would be easier to find clues to the fault using a circuit diagram.

There are slight differences how the fog lights are wired and generally are intended to be used only with dipped headlights but for exact operational details the vehicle handbook should be consulted.
You didn't mention what the rear lights including the rear fog lights are doing?

The fog lights usually derive the supply or the control for the circuit from the main lighting circuit so it would seem the fault is before the point in the lighting circuit of that connection.

Have a dirt bike with headlight. Three wires for hi/lo, how do I put two fog lights in place of that head light without too much wiring work. I don't need hi/lo option

one wire will for high beam
one wire will be for low beam
the last wire will be ground wire
as fog light have only one beam you can use the low beam wire and parallel wire it to the fog lights
that way you have the head lights still and the fog lights as accessories correctly wired according to regulations
how to do it simply-- find the low beam power wire ( light switch on low beam and power at the light bulb check ed with a multi meter set on volts
solder , piggy back, or double plug in a connection into that wire and run one wire to the left fog light and one to the right fog light connect each fog light to an individual ground wire and connect those wires back to the ground wire for the main lights
Now having done that simple addition to the lighting system another problem has come up
The wiring will now be too light to carry fog light current and or the light switch will burn out
To over come this problem, the circuit needs a relay
fit a relay on the bike and now run the low beam wire to a terminal of the relay
run the other terminal wire to ground
this enables the relay to operate when the low beam is switched on but at this will not switch on the lights yet
now you have to run a heavy gauge wire (fused at the battery) to one of the power terminals of the relay and from the other power terminal to the connection for the fog and low beam lights
Now it all works switch on the high beam and no for lights
change to low beam and the fog lights come on as well
All nice and legal
Of course if you don't care about being legal just buy a 30 amp toggle switch and run a fused wire directly to the switch from the battery to the lights and then to ground from the lights
You will know that the generator / alternator for the bike will not be able to run the fog lights with or without the main lights so what will you have achieved
