i have a switch with an led in it and have a wiring question.

the only problem is the ground wire is only like 2 ft long and i have no where to ground it on under dash. will this wire only help to light up the led in the switch or is this switch important?

now, do i need to put this ground wire in or does it not matter seeing as one of the wires comming from the fogs is already grounded.[img]

sorry for huge image but its for viewing purpose's
now do i need to put the ground wire on teh swtich? i have no need for it to light up.

that specific ground sounds like it's used to light up the led switch when it's off

however the switch picutred above has the ground for whatever product coming back to where the switch is...

now if the fogs already have their own ground.. you just need to run power to it.

 

You could always extend that wire if it is too short....

 

^yeha thats what i was thinking, i'll take a pic of instructions and see if you are right.

all wires are already on my car and i cant drive it for the time being.

 

ground to a point by the dead pedal...remove the drivers kick panel and ground to a metal point by the wire assembly.
2 ft is all you will need.

 

ok here are the pics. i have the three plugs on the switch one is bronze and the others are silver. please help as to what goes where, i lost my instructions.



o and the wire is more like a foot long.


and here is a glimps of what i am doing ..

can you pleeease resize those pictures?

from what i see... run wire 2 to the foglights and 3 to power (wherever you want to get it from)

 

Nice info!

 

Umm what did you use to cut the holes in the panels for the fogs? A butter knife? I hope you plan on cleaning that mess up.

 

how could you lose them?? you pasted your wiring diagram in your first post!

 

in my best carlos mencia "daa da daaaa"

 

squall is right...

3 goes to constant power source (whatever you are using for power)

2 goes to the fogs

1 is the ground for the switch; it is only used if you want the light on the switch to light up

 

lol
i did lose them but then i found them in the trash(brother thre out) and linked the pic later on. but ne ways i finnished. i just bought more ground wire so i wouldnt have to deal with this ne more.
the lights didnt come out to bad either, i like them i'll thake some night shots later.

 

glad to see you made it out safe. its a warzone out there

 

all worth it in the end. :D

 

WoW!!! looks nice look more factory and cleaner. Way better than factory ones was it hard to cut the hole in the plastic I bought some projector foglights off ebay and I'm gonna have to copy you looks sweet !!!!

 

well to cut the hole i used this;

its craftsman and its 2" and i also had to buy the special tool to the left. i spent about 24 on both. its not hard to drill at all takes like 15 seconds. if you bought fogs make sure they are 2" any bigger i dont think will fit in the corner grills.

hey if you need the those tools i'll sell em for 15 shipped only used once. lol.
