2 plugs behind front bumper ????

Hi all, bought a 05 Bentley Continental GT and I’m fitting my own body kit. I removed front bumper which hasn’t got any fog lights on it, behind bumper there is 6 parking sensors which all link up via one loom which plugs into a plug on passenger side behind bumper, on this loom at each end there are two plugs not connected to anything but they are positioned behind bumper where two fog lights could be put (are soon to be as new bumper has 2 fog lights built in) so are they fog light plugs and if they are then what do I have to do to get it working as the only fog light switch is for rear fog lights, does that one switch put front and rear on or do I have to wire in a control switch myself? Cheers anyone who can help

Stick a multimeter on the new found plugs and play around with the dash switch’s various combos ........work it out .
ps report back , pics would be nice btw .

Additionally locate the fuse diagrams and find the existing rear fog , then see if any empty fuse place is near for the alleged front .
If so pop a fuse in and then have another play around .

As there are no fog lights on the front of the vehicle either as standard or an option, the plugs if OEM, are not for fog lights.

Is your GT a Euro or NA version, could the 2 plugs be for the side marker lights that we have on my side of the pond ?

I saw your pictures in the other thread, but no pics of the plugs themselves.

Also let's try to stick to 1 thread for the same issue, as to not repeat the same information across multiple threads....

Hi Johnny. I’ve added photo of loom behind bumper and the 2 plugs hang near where fog lights should be off fitted and mine hasn’t as standard

I’m GUESSING those plugs would be for the side bumper marker lights we have here in the USA that you all don’t require. When I was looking to replace my bumper from Scuderia, they wouldn’t sell me the one I wanted because it didn’t have North American specs. I asked what was that and they informed me it didn’t come with the side marker lights. Only difference in the bumper I ended up getting besides the price hike.
