foglights question..

so.. I have stock fog lights on mine..

but after I put the bodykits in, I took 'em off cuz they don't fit..

so.. here's question..

if I buy some small aftermarket foglights, can they be connected w/ stock foglights harness??

i'm looking for getting piaa ones.. and can they be hooked up?? or i have to rewire everything again??

if it's possible, anyone wants my stock foglights?? w/ piaa bulbs in it??

thanks

I highly doubt PIAA lights will interface w/ stock harness. I had mine installed (on a Wrangler) at Acura for $110. PIAA has a special relay and switch that will sit somewhere, inconspicuously, in your interior.

I don't know how much I would sell 'em... never thought of selling 'em..

if the stock harness works /w piaa, I might sell the foglights only..

but if they don't work, then I'll sell whole things..

maybe.. $100ish? I don't know..

at this point, selling 'em is not the point.. I want to know if the piaa works w/ stock harness..

You can use the stock harness but only to a point. Obviously, you would have some wire splicing to do. I'm not familiar with what power requirements the piaa's have, but you may need to remove/add a fuse or two. Maybe even a relay. It will not be a simple plug and play conversion. Basically, the wires can be used but may required add-ons. It really depends if you want to cut up the existing harness.

its probably not that hard nippon.. just changing a wire here and there

we could probably install it in 1 hour.. two minds are better then one!

PIAA foglights are expensive though.. my

btw.. im pretty sure all foglights are made so any H4, H3 bulb could fit.. i hear that some foglights even take in 9006 bulbs..

As everyone has said its not as simple as plug and play. It should not be hard though. I think piaa has a fuse and a relay...and the oem setup should have both of those. So it might be as simple as just changing the wiring at the end where you plug the actual lights in.

Yeah I noticed that you live in the same city but it would be improper etiquette to just jump over a fellow CL member especially when I want them sooooo bad and you seem like such a nice guy









Anyway it probably would be easier for you to get them Im just going to try and find some closer to Houston.
