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.

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 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.

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 gen. front bumper):

1. P.N. ?????-?????-???;
   • Suzuki probably used to offer a complete upgrade set which included (among other parts) fog lamp model 35500-74F50 and accompanying bracket model 35526-81A01 (the model combo which was originally used for 1st gen. front bumpers as a factory installation), but the part number of that set is currently unknown.
   • Therefore, currently the only known way to obtain fog lamp model 35500-74F50 in a complete set is to either buy every required part (fog lamps, brackets, in-cabin switch, wiring, etc.) separately from Suzuki, or to scavenge a complete used set from a dead Jimny 3.
   • This complete upgrade set is probably not even available from Suzuki anymore, because they offer a "revised" set for 1st gen. front bumpers (see next below).
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 gen. front bumper but with 2nd gen. 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. gen 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 gen. 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 gen. 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 gen. 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, 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 gen. front bumper but with 2nd gen. 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 gen. 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, fuse and some screws.

For Jimnys 3 type 9-12, (with 3rd gen. 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 a pair of front fog lamps, one in-cabin switch, wiring, fuse and some screws.
     • The set probably does not include a pair of brackets, because 3rd gen. front bumper has integrated front fog lamp brackets;

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 generation.
• 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 gen. and the 3rd gen. front bumper use the same fog lamps.
  • Those fog lamps can also be used in the 1st. gen 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 gen. front bumper.
  • The actual bracket model depends on the combination (see the tables above).
• The 3rd gen. 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 gen. 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

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 gen. 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 gen. 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. gen 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 for them already installed.
  • Therefore, you should first check for the presence of wires with unused el. connectors somewhere behind the front bumper (after removing the front inner wheel arch liners), and inside the console in the cabin.
    • If your Jimny 3 has all that, consider yourself lucky, as 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. connectors.
    • If you find no unused wires and connectors there, you will also need to obtain complete wiring kit, for which suitable P.N.s are currently unknown.
      • You can always buy one of complete fog lamp retrofit kits mentioned earlier in the article!

• 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 gen. 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 siutable 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 gen. 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 gen 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

• The OEM P.N. is 37270-76J00.
• The in-cabin console switch is the same in all Jimnys 3.
  • This includes both pre-2006 Jimnys 3 (with the older console version), and post-2005 Jimnys 3 (with the newer console version).
• 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 from a Jimny 3
• 
• 

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-2005 Jimnys 3 (with 1998-2005 interior):

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.
