OK, so wiring it this way is for the foglight to only come on (and flash) while in reverse. If your Z has the wiring harness plug for the fog

OK, so wiring it this way is for the foglight to only come on (and flash) while in reverse.

If your Z has the wiring harness plug for the fog light, you can utilize that plug and tap into the wiring further up in the hatch. Locate the firewall grommet that would be somewhat directly behind the hatch light. Since there is no power to the wiring harness, you'll need to tap into the larger black(-) and orange(+) wires in the wiring bundle here. Pick a tail lamp to tap into; the grounding point for all the wires back here is on the drivers side. (There is a post further up showing the wiring scheme for the wires to/from the tail lamp.) In this case only, you only need to tap into the orange (reverse light) wire. NOTE: You may notice in my pics that I've spliced and repaired the red wire. This is only because I was doing some testing with the tail lamp and whether I wanted the fog light always on with the tail lamps. I've decided against it for now, and will wire up a manual switch at a later date.

So now to the wiring harness and flasher. Wire up accordingly:
85 - wire together w/30 to orange wire of tail lamp.
86 - Ground; send wire to the grounding point.
87a - need to wire to positive of fog lamp (the orange wire 1st mentioned in the 1st few pics); also needs to wire up to X of flasher.
87 - wire to L of flasher
30 - wire together w/85 to orange wire of tail lamp.

Flasher
X - need to wire to positive of fog lamp (the orange wire 1st mentioned in the 1st few pics); also needs to wire up to 87a of relay.
L - wire to 87 of relay

Fog Light Tapped Wires
Large Orange Wire - wire to X of flasher and 87a of relay
Large Black Wire - Wire to grounding point
