Fog/driving lights
First off, the fogs on my truck are filing up with water on both sides. On a rainy day, they'll be filled up to the bulbs, the next day, they'll have drained themselves. And would repeat at next storm.
I haven't climbed under yet, but is there a known issue where I need to silicone the housing, or could the connector be loose for the bulb?
Second, my friend with an 04 Wrangler (5 speed manual 4x4) has these lights installed on the top of his bumper, he said they're about as bright as his brights, and he flips these on instead of using his brights. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...0393&ppt=C0335
But he has the switch for them in the factory Jeep switch panel. So I'm wondering, 1) are they really that bright, 2) How should I wire them, 3) where would I mount them?
I figure i could either run them to a switch, which i would mount who-knows-where, or I could tap into a factory circuit. But because the fogs and low beams turn off when the high beams are on, I'm not really sure where I would wire them. Unless I do the relay mod, and wire the driving lights and fogs together?
As for mounting, I figure I can either put them in the lower grille openings (easier/safer to wire), or I can do them the Ram-way, behind the upper grille. But I think with such small lamps, the behind-the-grille method wouldn't work too well?
