I just resently got my new xb 2005 black, i just registered 4 this site so i don't know if this has alreday been explained but i was wondering how to put in after market fog lights using the existant wireing. so far i have the two harnesses that plug into the stock fog lights, they were taped to other wires behind those cover thingys. so anyways in the car behind the dash peice is another non used harness. i presume thta this is what plugs into the factory switch. is this right because i have everything hooked up but the lights won't turn on. what do i do, is there any like fuse that has to be put it or sumthin? :?:

just out of curiosity, is it possible to intall the factory fogs and the aftermarkets? Of Course not to be on at the same time though...

Yeah, I dont see why you could not. It would be a little extra wires running around, but you could make it where you control when each one comes one. If you wanted to, you could probably set it up, so both set of fog lights kick on, when you turn on your driving lights.

Yeah I need extra lighting everytime I goto Blakeslee PA to see my parents. I just might have to add some HIDs 8)
yeah HID are nice, wish i can afford it. last time i saw a blue xb with it, almost pushed me to get one but i flaked. still can't justify the price. maybe if i find it on $100-$200 range.

I recently paid about $200 for the oem fogs, and I must say I regret it...

The Light output sucks, they DO look like freakin turn signals, and now that
I've these two set ups, I wish I had waited... Those look clean.

I do like the looks of the factory switch though... I think an aftermarket switch
wouldn't look as clean. But anyway, good job guys
