Installing fogs
 

ok, so I bought a pair of universal fogs and i need to know where to run the wires. Main problem is going from the engine bay to interior. Where is the best place to run them through?

Thanks couldn't find anything with the search button :ninja:


Pics of finished install at post #14

Run em thru the firewall grommet, its under the dash by the pedals

k thanks ill check into it

do i have to dis-assemble the dash to do this?

no, take off the bottom plastic piece under your dash above where your feet go. you can get to it from there. That grommet is what basically everyone uses cause its easiest to get to and its the best way to to way wires.

Here you go.
 

Here is where to do it thanks to Cherrington17 :cool:

OMG!!!!!!!!!! ok so i got the wires through, hooked up everything. started car, fogs wouldn't turn on. So i figured bad ground cause the grounds for the lights are on painted metal. I went to shut the car off... and it wouldnt shut off! So i tried putting key back in turning to on then off again, nothing. So i pulled the ground to the battery, still running. finally pull the positive to the fuses and it shut off. This is where i attached the positive from the switch. my question... WTF went wrong??????

Ok, grounded lights better but they still wont come on...At least the car shut off this time though, any1 have a clue whats wrong?

Here's the diagram...

looks right, but what fuse are you tapped into? btw never pull a battery cable off while the car is running.

ok forgot to include that, positive from the switch has a built in fuse, so its attached straight to the positive terminal on the fuse box. and also...how the hell else was i supposed to shut it off?

ok so i really can't see anything that could make the fogs not work. as far as the cat not shutting off, thats effed up man. maybe your key cylinder is going out, but i think its a separate problem than your fogs for sure. i guess disconnecting that batt was needed as a last resort here probably, but having no buffer between the voltage coming out of the alt and the rest of the system= bad idea.

ok, well i know the switch is getting power cause its lighting up lol, so its either the positive to the lights (green in diagram) or the ground for the lights still... guh ill quadruple check my connections........

Ok so everybody call me a dumbass....... i switched the positive and negative on the switch...All that frustration from something stupid...it took me longer to figure out that mistake than it did to clear my corners... lol

Well finally done lol, adjusting and w/e here's some pics :lol:

Lows...

Highs...

Just fogs...

I'm sure your glad you finally got it figured out lol. Looks good though.

looks pretty cool, day pics so we can see what kind of fogs you got......

yuh, considering i just did them tonight, day pics might be delayed :haha:

And they are the $18 Wal-Mart special :p

Day pics fro yuh :p

i want to install another set in my car, but i dont want anyone to see them... they help a LOT in snow

Why don't you want people to see them? those are $18 from walmart and I'm not ashamed of it, how could it be worse?


and to jayson... I believe now that the reason the car continued to run was because the ground and positive wires were switched, so by attaching them one which i thought was positive (which was actually the ground) to the positive on the fuses must have completed the circuit and thus leaving the car running. It's amazing i didn't melt any wires :D
