RE: Fog Lamps
I have foglights and didnt use a wiring harness.I tapped into my marker lights.But todo this you have to run a relay other wise itwont work. It was easy to do and spent like 20 bucks and haveextra parts.You will spend less then that if you have wire and connectors layin around.Way better than 100 bucks. And therevery bright. But the foglights come on when ever I turn themarker lightson which is no big deal cause igot them to use them.

to operate. Super. You have made my day. I like the take charge and get er done
the cheap way instead of paying $75-$100 for a "harness" thats actually only
worth about $20. The fog light connectors are available at AutoZone and the
relays also. Its just wire and some wire loom. I have about $18 in mine for
the 2 watertite fog lamp connectors, fuse, relay, wire and loom. I even make
my own fuse taps from ordinary fuses.

RE: Fog Lamps
You guys DO know that fog lights are NOT headlights?
You do know what you're all talking about is illegal? Tinting your headlights so they're dim, running with fogs only at night - are not just illegal but unsafe?
Best use headlight covers so you pop them off when the cop won't let you drive it until you make your lights work properly.
Fogs or driving lights need to be on a switch so they can be turned off when they need to be.
But most of all, screwing with the headlights is risky business - the life you risk may not be your own.

RE: Fog Lamps
There's a guy around here with a black GT that drives around at night with only the fogs on. They're not as bright as you might think... hence why they're fog lights and not headlights. During early evening morning or early evening hours when the sun is rising orsetting I think they're fine... I do it sometimes, and mine are a little less bright than the GT fogs. But not during after the sky is black.

RE: Fog Lamps
you DO realize we're not retarded?
you do know that we dont give a ****?
**** cops who pull people over for smoked out headlights, we have people getting shot for drugs, headlights should be the least of their worries
As far as im concerned i will have enough light to see what i need to see, and that will be ample light for someone else to see me at night, so its just as dangerous as any other driving scenereo. Some people just suck at driving and make poor decisions, has nothign to do with how much tint i have on my headlights
