DIY: of complete FOG LAMP install

yubman

Thanks Mr Z for the clairification, good point about the ground and power draw of the fog light. I should probabbly convert the bulb to LED which should also last longer and draw less power.

I think I know what kind of cable taps your refereing to, I'll stop by and pick some up from home depot once the weather breaks and hopefully get the fog installed.

Thanks again for the info.

Be careful with the LED setup! I have tried 5 different LED and none gave me a good result (after spending over 100$!!)

- One didn’t even fit in the socket hole!
- 2 other one did not give me nice results when it comes to inside illumination… Remember that the bulb hole is not centered… So it was designed for a single source of light… in the center. Not 12 different LED’s!
- Since I have a special socket with dual wire (normal and braking condition), the other LED’s I tried did not behave as they should when I stepped on the brakes… (To be honest I still don’t understand why but must have something to do with the inside wiring…)

In the end, I just gave up and kept the regular bulb!! Also FYI, I confirm that a regular bulb wired in one of the tail lights, does not dim the tail light compared to the other.
