Volvo RWD 900 Forum

I just got a 93 940 it is not a GL or a SE nothing on the trunk but 940, it has a switch on the dash for fog lights and wires hanging from the front bumper, are the mounts and lamps the same as a 740?

The open electrical connectors on the headlamp wiring harness (normally zip tied) are for the headlamp washer wiper -standard on the 960's. The only other loose wiring under the front bumper would be for a missing ambient temp sensor. See the FAQ for more information on fog lamps.

Dave -940's, prev 740/240/140/120 You'd think I'd have learned by now

The OE fog lights are incorporated into the front grill assembly on the 940 and look almost like a second set of square headlights. It's not a plug and play deal, almost everything needs to be switched out.
This parts catalog shows it.

naw this is a standard 940, no fogs with the headlamps. the car has a set of wires on each side and holes in the bumper. I dont know if this is after market or what ??

If you're talking about mounting holes on the underside of the plastic bumper cover, that's an aftermarket setup. Stick a multimeter on the wires, turn on the fog light switch, and see if they're still live.

you can probably install a new pair of aftermarket fogs (or devise a way of mounting the old-style optional fogs from the 240/740) on your existing bumper holes for a LOT less $$ than swapping out your existing setup for the correct Volvo 940 fog lights. And end up with superior illumination, too.
