Heres the Fog lights
* Theres a adjusment on the back, make sure you adjust before re-installing the bumper back.

Driver Right Fog light

First Step is to take off your bumper and disconnect your battery (air bag).
- I used grillcraft's install since you can also refer on it later on taking off the bottom grill
Link = http://grillcraft.com/installs/installs.asp?action=view&install=170

After CAREFULLY taking off the bumper, proceed to take off the bottom grill. then it should look like this after you snap on the fog lights.

* I highly recommend using a pillow for your bumper :love: Bed Sheets can work too.

Locate this receptacle underneath the driver headlight

http://www.myfruityimage.com/uploads/29bd8a920f.jpg

Use the factory ground with the fog lights

http://www.myfruityimage.com/uploads/e330e8d6cc.jpg

Then connect the harness into it and connect the other end to the fog lights. white is to white wire / black is to black wire, there is no way you can mix the wires since it has different plugs on both.

http://www.myfruityimage.com/uploads/2b9a6531db.jpg

Reverse the installation of the bumper and be carefull not to pull the bumper too far because the supplied wires from the fog kit is just sufficient.

* make sure you try the lights that they work.

Locate this receptacle to connect the switch's harness

http://www.myfruityimage.com/uploads/e183fc8130.jpg

Green ->switch
White -> Dash connector
Clear White -> relay
* as shown

http://www.myfruityimage.com/uploads/4a09c27d75.jpg

Then place your switch anywhere you like

Everything Should Work like this

Nothing beats 100+$ difference.

Hmm I dont know when thats going to happen. Im busy with work. And i dont even drive the car to work.

hey tikbhoy, u ever get that exhaust? i forgot what it was called
Yes i did, OBX exhaust but i never did post the sound clips that everybody was hoping for.

Thanks

A lot of people ask for night pics but If saving over 100+$ dollar isnt enough then dont bother waiting for the pics. I get lazy after i get what i want and plus im busy with work. Ill c what i can do with the night pics

does anybody know where to get just the wiring/harness connector (2 fingers holding it in picture 5) and switch connectors (picture without the fog lights and grills?

Im sure dealer would be too expensive try clicking the sponsored sale thread and contact Gorge and tell him you saw my lights i got from him.

Great Job! Yellow look awsome. light buls are replaceable, and fog lamp are adjustable at your preference. Great Job Again! :bow:

one question did the foglights help improve the lighting at night. i'm looking at these and i really like how easy the install looks.

WeDriveScions
12-17-2005, 04:34 AM
They just open up the light directly in front of the car and low... so they end up filling up the light a little closer to the car... so not really for the long range viewing...

Plus, it's not really cool to run them if it's not foggy... looks cool, but not the nicest thing to do.

I have to adjust it since its pointing too far down.

yellow light is only usefull during for as wedrivescion said, if you want something to help you drive at night then get the white lens if fog then the yellow.

Great DIY! I want to get this. Great price. I guess everything you need is included in that plastic bag in Pic #2? I'm not car-savy, so I'm a little skiddish when it comes to removing things. :doh: How long did this DIY take you? Lastly, if/when the bulbs do indeed burnout, can I replace them with say...SilverStars? (Bulb size would be helpful.) Sorry for all the boneheaded ?'s, I just want to see what I maybe getting myself into. Thanks.

Im not sure what size of bulbs but they dont use the same type of bulb as the OEM kit. It shouldnt take more than an hour to take it off but its really up to you how you want your work to be. i take my time. buts its really easy since the grill snaps in and all the wiring are all plug and play.

i just finished with the install, and the only real problem i had was trying to get the bumper back on. it's just because it was only me doing the install and i had a lil trouble with matching the holes back together for the underside of the bumper.

but over all i say it was a very easy install and from the looks of the lights i think i have them adjust almost perfect. i think i'll probably change out the bulbs later when i get the chance to take them off again.

thanks for the great DIY information it really helped me out. good luck with your header install on the SC. i'll post pictures when i get a chance

I got one of these sets a couple days after they came out.
FYI is you want these light to turn on with just the parking lights, you splice the yellow wire into the green wire. You can use pliers to remove the yellow wire and pin, cut the pin off and use a T-tap to splice into the green wire.

anyone know what size bulbs are used in these fogs? the pass side fog light already went dead on me. really annyoing-i've had them for not even 2 months yet. also, for everyone who has them, have u noticed that the center of the lens is turning color? mine is getting all dark-looks like it's being burned by the bulb or something. doesn't look right at all.

tikbhoy
02-23-2006, 09:04 AM
i would say your the only one who posted a problem about it.

no clue what type of bulb. but i would check the lines for power, it may be loose connection. as far as bieng burnt , no clue either. posting a pic would be nice.

I still recommend the lights to anyone who wish to get it.

I have this fog light kit on my car, and recently the passenger bulb went out. I took off the grill, even took apart the back of the light fixture, and can't for the life of me figure out how to replace the bulb. Does something pop off from the front? Any help would be great. Thanks!

This guy says that, because of the properties of light, the only real reason to go yellow is for the look (JDM).

I know it was a while since being brought up but might as well make sure people know it.
