Ya I just drew another diagram for the leds. The way I want it, the leds will turn on with the parking lights, then I can flip a switch and the fog lights will turn into strobes.

I emailed the guy on ebay. I asked about 20 blue leds and 60 white. He gave me a price of 32 bucks shipped. I dont think that its bad at all. Just need to give him my pay pal and I hope I will see them in a week. I also ordered a switch from Oznium.com a couple days ago.

Does anybody have a diagram for how to wire them so they come on with the running lights? I'm not the greatest with electrical craftsmanship.

actually you only need one relay. I need two cause im doing something special lol. Anyways, find your parking light wire and connect that to pin 86, pin 85 to ground 30 to constant 12 volts and then 87 to your lights! thats it.

Sounds easy enough... If i can find it, I'm sure it won't be a problem.. Connecting pins is easy. I've built a few computers.

Very nice, see if you can get a not shot and a video of your strobe. I just got my LEDs in the mail two days ago. So after things settle down at work i will start that project.

So... when I really thought about it, I realized that I have no idea about the wiring of this beast... Are there pre-existing fog-light harnesses that I can just find a plug for and put it on the end of my LED wires?

I found a few diagrams online and combined what I learned from them to try and guess how I need to do my car.

I want to have my fog lights come on with my parking lights & my headlights. Here is the diagram that I came up with:



Where is the parking light wire located/ what do I look for to make sure that I cut into the correct wire.
