Ok, I see it now.

I am ganna get the OEM Switch so any chance you know how that refit the wire into the Switch?

My questions are do you need to buy "something" to fit the wire into the switch or just shove the wire in there and it will some what staying and not moving around?

Thanks so much I've been researching all night for this.

Haha, that's paperboy's area of expertise right there. You can also PM another member, californium90, he's also done this mod.

Hope that helps man! I just used my ebay fog switch, fits pretty snug.

Btw what kind of fog light blub you use? looks really yellow.

I am still debating rather i should get yellow fog and 6000k projector headlight.
but i am not sure what kind of fog light blub would look good, plus i don't want to use 3000k for fog light either. hurts my eyes when i see people use hid for fog light and non projector light.



Thanks for your help.

Once again, np man! Glad to help.

I would stay away from HIDs in fogs too, unless you're doing, like you said, a fog light retrofit or something. Headlights will be bright enough in terms of visibility.

The bulb that I have currently is the stock halogen bulb that came with my Ebay kit. Since my fogs are tinted yellow, I think that is yellow enough already, but if my bulbs ever give out, I'm going to throw a set of H11 Nokya Hyper yellows in there.

I'm also interested in getting those pigtails since all I have is an OEM switch and the ebay wires. Any help would be great, thanks!

I'm not sure why the OP cut the connectors off of the ebay wiring. I left mine on, wrapped electrical tape around them, and connected them to the pins on the OEM switch.

weird how a lot of people ran into problems with the fit of the switch, when i bought my first ebay fog light kit, with the aftermarket switch, it fit eventually and worked fine for about a year and half until i got rid of the car.

My ebay switch fell apart before I even installed it. I put it back together but within a week it would either stay stuck in the on position or when I tried to push it on it wouldn't click/stick in the on position.
