Independent fogs!

Some advice: connect the signal source from the relay to a fuse inside the cabin instead of the fusebox in the engine bay. I chose the windshield wiper fuse, number 4 I think.

nvm! found our post op! but damn i already connected it. i agree with your post in DIY independent fog thread, this would have saved me a lot of wire and time.... i took so much time trying to push two wires into the firewall. -.-

Everything is plugged up! but not getting any results.... my fogs won't turn on with the switch. wack.

First thing I would check would be if all your wires are connected to the right terminals on the relay. Then I would check your fog light fuse.

Does the amp of the relay matter? I figured out I'm using a 14 gauge wire on a 18-20 gauge wire so that may be causing a short.. Gay. I might have to replace the fuse. I hate life

assumption, each fog bulb is 55W @12V

watt = volt*amp
55+55 = 12*amp
9.1 = amp

yea I think I'd do a 15A fuse, 10A doesn't give you much room for real world conditions/tolerances.

Thanks for the compliments guys! I want to do so much more. D':

btw, my independent fog light switch is practically useless now. I only installed it to match yellow fogs with yellow high beams. Now i gotta cut and remove all the wires i took so long to install. gey.

Yeah i just baked them myself. If you don't want hyper flashing, you would need to get load resistors and splice into the wires. Its an easy install!
