Make sure everything is FUSED and RELAYED.


Take the foglamp power directly from the battery.


Good luck.

Foglights are simple to install.

the hardest part is deciding what style you want, and the CPoutput.

wiring is simple (12gu wire is best), ground the light at the light if at all possible, or as close as you can.
run your wiring from the light to the switch, though the firewall.
run your power wire from battery (including a 20-25amp fuse 6-8" from battery) through the firewall to the switch.
Ground switch under dash somewhere.
test.

congratulations you have just installed your first set of foglights.

That's not the best way to wire up foglights. You should run a relay for them.

None of the lights I've gotten have had relays built in. But maybe mine have been the exceptions.
