Auxilliary Fog Light Power Problem...

For the love of Christ can someone tell me where the fuse to the "spotlight" fog lights installed on my MINI is? I have a 2009 Clubman with factory installed "extra" fog lights up in front of the grille. I disconnectected the switch with the ignition on and checked for power at the harness connector and nothing... the little pictograms on the fuse box covers (I've checked both) are of no help whatsoever. HELLLLP! Please and Thank You.


Factory installed second set of fog lights switch - appears to be OEM switch and wiring harness... where is that damn fuse to this thing?

See here, the fuse is on the harness:

What issue are you having, what are you trying to accomplish? The lights will only work when the high beams are on, as they are supplemental "Driving" lights, not fog lights.

Also, since Mini uses a CAN bus system, the switch doesn't "Latch" like a traditional switch. It only send a voltage / resistance signal across the bus to tell the control box to activate the lights.
