Looking to hook up foglights
Friday, January 02, 2009 12:33 AM
The wiring runs back into the car, and into a switch. Where can I power the switch?

Can I hook it up somewhere in the fuse block?

You will need to add a relay. if you bought a fog lights kit it might already have one.

Wow, that is sweet..I have a kit, but it doesnt have one.

So I can just plug that into a open fuse spot in my box?

you really dont even need a open spot, if you look where i circled it has a spot for 2 fuses. 1 for the circuit that you pulged that adapter into and one for the new power circuit.

If you do have a open spot you can just use one of the fuse slots i think. i have one but never used it.

ive seen these in auto parts stores too, i think they are about 8-10$

you can use one of those ^^ and plice right into the ignition power...
should you have forgotten to shut the fogs off it wont drain your battery as they wont stay on unless the car is..

same thing with a fuse tap, and i think a fuse tap is a better idea since you going to have to fuse the wire anyway, unless you would like a fire in your car. and its in a easy spot (if you have a problem, like the fuse blowing) and its clean.

I have a fused wire coming off the park light power (instead of the fusebox in this example) to a switch then to the relay trigger (pin 85)...
