Question for anyone who has the jdm rear fog light from Z1
 

Where do you connect the short wire harness to? The lights for license plates or tail lights? I wanna know before I purchase the rear fog light. Thanks...

Mine is tapped in to the taillights.

Just get the long harness you'll be able to connect it wherever you want it. Thats what I did anyways.

As is mine as well as the brakes. I did the 2 element conversion & use it for brakes (Brighter element w/ flasher) & taillight (dimmer element) If I ever needed it constant on, I'm sure my other lights would need to be on as well hence the taillight tap ;)

Well I'm planning on just connecting it to the lights that illuminate the license plates. I guess what I'm asking is if it can be done w/ the short wire harness from Z1 or do I HAVE to connect it to the tail lights?

I believe on Z1's site it specifies that the short harness is for the license plate lights and the long harness is for the tail lights. Which is why I chose the long harness.

how do you wire it if you want the fog light to be on and then when you brake its even brighter. where would you tap into that?

You need to change the light socket from a 7440 socket to a 7443 socket

Here's the DIY

Here is the link to the set up you want. You don’t even need to get the Z1 wire harness (short or long) this uses a different type of wire (Invisicord).

But is this install possible w/ the harness from Z1?

If using the Z1 short harness you would not be able to stuff it in the Fog light harness like the DIY link I posted. If you get the Z1 harness then I wouldn't see why you wouldn't be able to hook it up to your license plate lights. But you would need to tap into the license plate lights and not stuff the wire into the fog light harness.

What do you mean stuff into the fog light harness?

Invisicord you would stuff into the back of the fog light harness. Stuff as in stick in….I take it you have not read the link I sent you.

Actually that DIY is the reason why I decided to do this mod :tup: it's cuz when I ordered the fog light from Z1 it came w/ a free short wire harness. I was just wondering if I could do that DIY but with the harness from Z1. I guess I'm gonna have to try simotas DIY first before I order the invisicord cable.
