DIY: of complete FOG LAMP install

ZKindaGuy · 06-24-2009, 09:41 PM

Alot a work for just a fog-light. I thought that would be a great place for a rear view camera instead of a fog light.

Is there a clear or white lens available for this? And can it be wired to the reverse light in the tail lamps so that it only comes on when in reverse? Hence an additional reverse light so I can see when backing up.

This may be a stupid question, but how does the molding you removed in the beginning go back on? does it just push back to where it was?

What molding pieces you talking about? The interior trunk plastic molding?

No, the molding that you have to remove to remove the plastic liners... looks like a rain guard, soft, pliable....

lift up the weather strip and look inside the groove... you should see the imprint of where it once sat, there's usually two in there, so you can see how the other one is situated.

Okay, loving the idea of having one of these lights on my 10'. Just need to see if anyone is using the LED variant the Z-Store now has available. Almost like this idea more thinking that I won't have to worry about replacing bulbs along with a better match to the LED running lights. Also, after reading about all of the variations of install, would like to have the option of turning it off or on, but most importantly, to have it as an additional brake light. People always on my a%#. Feedback and comments dearly appreciated.
PS, getting ready to install new tuner, so thinking I can do all of the wiring at one time.

I've got the Z-Store LED variant and it works great. It's wired to flash in reverse, and come on solid with my brake lights.

Can't you just tap into the license plate lights?
