Ok man heres what you are going to have to do. You will need some wire like this... Attachment 54389 then u willhave to splice off that clip to extend it about 3-4 feet to give u play roomAttachment 54390 i wrapped it in a plastic electrical tube to insulate it from water then u have to take off ur inside liner in ur trunk and remove one of ur tail lights Attachment 54392then run the wire and tap into the harness wiring of the tail light i chose the red one for it to b on when the tail lights are on. Idr which wire it is for the brake lights but use a connector that can connect ur new wire to the tail lights like i have it and then cut excess off and seal it up with electrical tape and voila ur done Attachment 54393
Edit heres the wires and what they are forhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/17/ba6ymava.jpg Hopefully that will help u Oh yeah u might want to take it off ur car first!! Its reallllyyyy easy!! U just need a flat head to pop the little plastic push pins out and the a socket i think idr to take off the two bolts that attach the fog light to ur car its easy it takes u probably 2 minutes to do. Then once its off splice that connector etc |
thank you so so so so much kid.
i am horrible when it comes to wiring, but im sure my boys will be able to understand this. thank you again. |

Ok noob electrician here, how does the OEM reverse fog light stalk work woth the EVOR fog light. I have nothing hooked up at the moment. Will I have to wire the fog light to the tai lights then run a wire all the way to the stalk or what? Also what wiring is involved in reversing the stalks, will I have to reverse all the wires for the wipers and lights?
I want this fog light to be able to have a switch for me to turn it on and off. |
The OEM one has a basic harness 2 wires if I can remember correctly, a positive and a negative. You can just hook it up to the OEM wire harness with the wires EVO-r has supplied for the fog light. I also went this route because I just like it to be on when I have my lights (like the OEM) on and no flashing function is being used on mine. This way when you turn your lights on you can then turn your fog light on or off you choice the switch on the stalk will work as if it was the OEM fog light....... hope this helped.

Any ideas which wire is positive and which is negative? I ordered the light and the harness from Z1...but since both wires are black...I'm not sure if one is positive and the other is negative or if they are "universal."

If it's an incandescent lamp, polarity doesn't matter (but it will help whoever has to troubleshoot it in 10 years if you get the colors right). If LED, it just won't light and shouldn't do any damage if you get the wires backwards. |
If you have an Ohm meter, connect one lead to the red wire and check the two wires, one will have continuity, that is the "red" wire that just looks black. Just looking at the picture you have, the red wire looks like it goes to the black wire with the trace. Of course, the wire could be twisted inside the sleeve. Just shoot through the connecter

Anybody else get a check engine light after install? I connected and disconnected the negative port side battery several times and already recal unrated my window regs. Can't figure out what's wrong?!?

is it possible to make it blink in reverse and blink on brake as well?
|

i did mine yesterday, but got the new one that only blink for 5 seconds when braking.
|
I got the 5sec one to love it. At first I didn't want to buy one if it was going to blink for ever when the brake light was on. I didn't want the cop to check out my exhaust at the light Lol

EVO-R Foglight, existing Z wiring and coupling
1 Attachment(s)
Why isn't the existing tan/black wiring coupling, which is clipped to the light housing, powered with the brake lights or otherwise. Is it merely in the harness to be tied to switch if used in European or Asian markets?
Has anybody tapped the light mint green brake light wire to the tan wire for ease of installation and powered that wire directly? |
So how can I avoid running wires to a switch all the way up front? All I want really is to have the flashing reverse and the light steady on with the brake lights.
If I read correctly, the flashing reverse goes to the orange wire. But would the steady on go to the green wire? (or red?) Assuming the switch up front would only benefit if you wanted to turn it off/on whenever you want? |
It looks nice!!
Do you know if the fog light can turn on when the tail lights go on as well? Quote:

Maybe somebody can make it work like you say above. |
Some photo of the wiring setup.
Note: Testing the lights, make sure you have the taillight connected. Else when trun on parking light it will keep on blinking. RED - RED White - Green Black - Black http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96...ps5pjyansq.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96...psc15vsioz.jpg |
Help how do I fix!!!?!?!http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/18/se5a3uru.jpg
|
Clean off all the old glue. Put back together with RTV.
|
Or send it back to China!
|
If you like I can sent replacement. PM me. Or you can glue it back. Looks like the adhesive we use cannot take the heat in TX.
|
What is the red wire on the rear light for? And is it always on when the car is on? And off when the car is off?
|
It's on when the running lights are on in sub 12s. Always on on 13+ bc of the LEDS. It blinks when brake is pressed for 1-3 secs twice. Then steady until released.

Hello,
I installed also the fog light, but the led's are very dark. It is possible to make them lighter? (sorry for my bad English, I'm from Germany) |

I wonder if any of y'all can help me find where I messed up. The instructions are simple enough but for some reason, my fog lamp starts to flicker on its steady mode about 5 minutes into driving. I soldered the red to red, white to orange (reverse), and grounded the black to the factory ground behind the driver side tail light. It still flickers. So I ended up switching to 18 gauge wiring instead of the 16 gauge evor provides. It still flickers. So I ended up wiring it to the other tail light, still flickers. I changed the grounding point to another hole I found on the chassis, still flickers. I cannot for my life identify the problem. Please help, it only starts to flicker after a little bit of driving. It doesn't flicker right when I turn it on after letting the car cool down. Should I try splicing the ground wire into the tail light ground wire?
Edit: I know it's not the light itself because Jay from EvoR ever so kindly sent another one as we thought the first one was broken in some way and after wiring the new one in...still flickers |

I'm curious as to why you would go to smaller (less ampacity) wire. :confused: |

trying to get a 3 flashs after brakes applied. I ordered a M1 3rd brake flasher - but no luck with the configuration. My Evo'r light keeps flashing as soon and brakes are applied and continues, but...
Check this out... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH20B5vK1Yo These guys got it done...it's near the end of the video but 3 flashes then off. Parking lights are on, job well done! |
I am a little confused, what is the wiring setup to produce this result? I would also like this to function similar to our 3rd brake light. I will also be using the kahtec smart stop delay with the constant on to provide the flashing effect as well as the solid on.

From 370z -> EVO-R Foglight: Green -> Red Red -> White Black -> Black I also soldered bullet connectors to the wires for quick disconnect/alternative configuration. ~Blade |
