Help with fog light installation, info not on diys

Wronka · 05-26-2012, 06:15 PM

so I did what you said and ran a wire to connect black to black and red to red from the fog light to the left rear tail light. The light comes on but it will not come on when my lights are set to auto. Is this right? I was hoping they would stay on with my lights on auto..

If you are going to tie into the parking light circuit @ the taillight then the red from the fog light+ will go to the Orange wire in the taillight wiring harness.

Check the Orange wire with a test light to be sure it lights up the test light when you turn on the parking lamps.

I tried it with the orange to the red and the black to black and now the fog lamp won't work at all
