i was thinking about hooking them up to my headlights, but didnt know which wires ran where. i dont want to hook it up wrong and have my lights blow or something like that. so, if there are any diagrams or if you guys have done this already a little info would be great!
If you have a multimeter you could test the plug when it's not plugged into the headlight and see what's what.
Here is a writeup, viewtopic.php?f=49&t=1250 I used the marker lights as my trigger that way the fogs will work as long as any of your lights are on (markers, head, and/or highbeams). If you use the low beams or high beam wire then your fogs will only work when the low or high beams are on. I prefer to have the option of running them anytime, and I know they will go off when the lights are turned off.
ok guys i waas thinking aboout front fogs for a st165 bumper... but i want to keep it all square if anybody knows what im on about??? whats the best size fogs do you guys think??
for the rectangular ones? im not too sure. i used to have a set of rectangular ones but rid of them after the accident. but um....maybe like 3x5??? i think that was the size of my old set.
i dunno im not too gone on the oul roundies if ya know what i mean> i think they just dont match the car? that reminds me!!! i had an idea that the fogs could sit behind the bumper on hindges and when you turn on your full lights the would come down and light up the road... might be hard to do but i think it would be cool!!
hahaha that would be awesome! i see a whole lot of modding in order to get that done. lol from what im think, are you thinking of something like how our head lights pop up? something like that? would be awesome. if you could do that then go for it. you would be the only 162 out there that has it! oh, and i bought some fog lights on ebay. some projector ones. hopefully they look decent. not your taste though. lol they are round little ones.
haha!! yes!! exactly! id probly use the motors from the head lights from a donor car and mak them appear and disappear i think that would be savage... plus it would help with cooling when there turned off... id probably wire them into the heads but with a timmed switch so if you turn off the heads they wont just fold up straight away, it would take 15 to 20 seconds?? what you think? anybody else know how i might go about fabricationg any of this to work??
haha, yea, that would be sweet! but a whole lot of fabricating to the bumper support though. you have to make due, even add to the support to support your new and improved lights.
depending on where you wish to install your relay you can pull your trigger from the wire going to your marker light, or you can pick up your parking lights wire in the drivers kickpanel
id probly fit the support to the front impact bar!!! shouldnt be that bad!! :sad: but we will have too see, need to find a set of fogs to suit!!
ya i know!!! i can do all the fab work and get all the mechanicals to work but im not really that good with wiring :cry:
aww man! well this is your practice dude! there is always time for improvement! no worries you got this. oh, and i got my fogs installed. check them out on my thread
