Default Got them walmart BLAZER fogs.. any info on installation??

Hey everyone, well i found the thread, probably very old about this BLAZER wallieworld foglights that fit into the little popout sections of the honeycomb grill, well i went and picked some up, but i dont know how im going to install them, i searched for them but i cant find it.. maybe im looking wrong? what i want is maybe a step-by-step guide on how to install them and where to hide all the wires?

any help would be greatly appreciated THANKS

Ok the install is pretty easy. What you need to do is first pop out the honey comb. Next you need to get the correct drill bit to drill threw the plastic. Maybe a 5/16ths or something along those lines. Just take the screw and put it up to the drill bits till you find the correct size. Next you gonna wanna put the fog light in the location you want. Leaving the fog light as is it will be hardto fit it in there, don't worry thats ok. Or you can simply measure the distance from the bolt on the fog light to the side of the bumper and the just drill. For me I just got a rough estimate and drilled. If your scared to eye ball it thats ok just bust out the tape measure and do the math. Next drill the hole, then put the fog light into location to verify that the location is correct. Once that is taken care of we can run the wires.


Now if you lazy like me I just ran 2 wires (one on each side) to the 12v supply on the running light (also the blinker) that way when you turn on your head lights (tech the parking lights) your fog lights will be on. The correct wire is the solid green wire. Run the power up to the solid green wire and tap it to it using wire taps. Next for the ground run a wire from the ground on the light to the bolts that holds the lip to the body. Its the only bolt on the lip thats closest to each bolt. Then your finished. Maybe someone has a link with photos but this isn't rocket science so take your time and you will be fine.

Also sorry is its hard to understand...this steel reserve has got the better half of me

I did the install and it's pretty easy. My only additional comment is to save the small piece of grill you popped out, cut it short, and grind it so that it slopes at an angle and fits behind the lights. That way it looks like the grill still continues behind the lights. Without it, it looks like the grill suddenly ends and that it didn't come that way. Good Luck.

The Fuse says its 15....and the 12volt? would that be the grounding? i got one on the + battery terminal, and one underneath my dash and the other two that come right outta the fogs themselves i have one on the radiator support, and also on the other side i got the same thing.... the one that has the fuse in it, (The grounding wire) it says i can either put it into the fuse box (I have no idea which fuse to put it in:S) or either the + terminal on the battery, so i thought the + part would be ALOT easier

+ to battery and negative to chasis
red= +
black = negative

are these to a switch or just to your running lights

Okay ...negative would be the white colored wire? and the black wire would be the one going onto the + wire terminal eh? cause thats where i got ti, on the red side.. and yes it is for s Switch, not directly to my running lights..

Okay, tried that, it blew it again, but with my NOOBish mind what i didnt do was, there is a little black wire that you connect to the switch/GROUND and that is if you have it wired up to the headlights.. so ME i had that hooked in, but i didnt need to!! i looked over the instructions 1 more time, and i was like okay, this little wire is (G) and all it says to hook up is wire (A) (B) and (C) so i took it out, and VOILA!! they are BRIGHT AS HELL!! i love them thank you very much for your advice anyway, ill get pics later, too damn cold out right now, lol..
