behind
why doesnt the hid turn all the way to lock into place....jus a lil
my old fog were connected to the parking brakes...so i want to redo everything to hav a switch for it...but my wires arent the same colors...so confused....i read many of the post....started being helpful around the 50s den i got lost..
so heres what im thinkin....instead of using the cars fuse box....doesnt it already come with a fuse....
so i would jus need the switch rite...cant i jus throw away the grey connectors n jus use extra wires as an extensions...connect the fuse cable to the battery (like the amplifiers fuse)...
am i getting somwhere here?
also...what is the relay for?

The relay is for the switch
When the switch is switched from on to off the relay kicks in
You can wire it straight to the battery, or just try and find another constant source for power. Tap into whatever has constant power. You aren't going to the car's fuse bow for the fuse. You are tapping into the fuse bow to get power. The fogs should have a fuse of its own.

I picked up some fogs off of eBay and they don't fit into the pocket. I heard some people say they had to modify the fog light housing and some say it fit perfect. Can someone tell me which fogs they picked up with out modifying the foglight housing to fit? Thanks!

Thanks bro! Just wanted to make sure before I start cutting away! I'm going to start this project tonight! One other question, did you mount your HID ballast in the bumper or on the frame?

Good to know, I have them fitted into my bumper now, and will do the wiring tonight after work. Thanks again, and I'll try and post pics after the install.

i finally did this DIY after my school... everything went well and i had to cut the frame but no biggie thanks to dremmel. only problem im having is the wiring. i basically did everything i had to. I attached the red wire to the positive side of my battery. the only thing is i have a wire with a connector that says ignition. i did not plug anything in my fuse box. I have all grounds bolted where am i adding this "ignition Lgnition" wire. bought this off ebay thanks
