Why not? Effort of Installation, Cost, Simplicity and practicality come to mind. You didn't make a typo, you're trying to cover yourself. Don't lie. There's no shame in being wrong, now you know. You've learned something today.

Hella 500's are great lamps. I know a lot of people who rock those on a variety of vehicles. Amber is the color you want for fog lamps, good call.

I get Stinger wire from a guy I know who owns an audio shop. You can find it all over the interwebs.

 

No, I wasnt trying to cover myself. I used 10g to (attempt to build) a headlight harness for the S-10. Its been so long since I built the harness for Purpl, anyway. I will check into the Stinger wire, as I will be building a new harness so I can run the fogs off the factory headlight switch.

To be honest, I didnt learn much. I'm a hard-headed bastard when it comes to these things, I will still be using 12g to wire up the fog lights.

 

Wire gauge + 2 = age?

 

What the hell does that got to do with anything?

Wire gauge - 22 (I'm guessing here) = age.

 

Both of you are confusing the hell outta me, 14g is well enough for fog lights

 

why not answer my question? does the light switch with the fog light plug into one that doesnt have fog lights? ive used speaker wire to wire up fog lights, i dont really care about the guage of it, heck ive used a piece of bailing wire wrapped in duct tape to get me home, that was on my head lights, sorry ive just had a crappy day

 

Yes, Our 99-01 trucks have the wiring for the fog lights all the way up to the fuse. After that, there is nothing.

 

ok good, thanks thats what i was hoping for, i just didnt want to get a switch and then re-wire the plug

 

Up to the fuse, not up to the dash. The Fuse is in the power distribution block under the hood.

You are going to have to wire it.

 

No, the wires are UP To the fuse. There is no need to re-wire the plug because all the wires are already there (at least on my truck).
