DIY: of complete FOG LAMP install

simota1 · 06-17-2009, 04:21 PM

Umm im not really sure i understand your question but here goes.... it is possible to make the fog work like the factory.... i believe on the factory the fog turns on right when you turn on the car and there is a seperate switch if you wish to turn it off... as for the harness... you dont really need one because the wiring is only a two wire set up not like a complicated one where there are like ten wires going into it.... so if you wanted it to work like factory...ground the black wire to the chasis and then hook up the red to a accesory or ignition wire so right when you turn on the car it is on.... and then put a switch in between the wire so if wish to turn it of it will cut the circuit and the power of the fog.... now if u wire it up this way it is more work because you have to lead wires to the front of the z and then find a place for the switch... but its definetely possible....

What I meant was that according to the Owner's Manual, to turn on the fog lamp (if so equipped) you turn the light switch to headlights on, then turn it to parking lights on, and then it appears that you turn it back to headlights on. To turn the fog lamp off off, you turn the headlights off. The main thing is that the fog lamp is not on whenever the headlights are on (you have to do the funky thing with the headlight switch). Is this how your fog lamp is turned on?

O ok now i understand.... sorry... no mine just turns on when i turn on the parking lights... even when my headlights are off my fog light is on... only when you switch off the parking lights the fog turns off.... i hope this was the answer helps you out...

Hey man, so I have a factory switch located on my parking lights lever that allows me to turn on/off my fog light but only when parking lights are on. That part I get, and I am putting on the led fog light from EVO R, but I also don't want it to stay on the whole time and have the ability to turn it off and not flash at all, using that factory switch, have you managed to figure something out with yours?
