Hey guys, so I got my Ebay foglights working today and I just wanted to show you guys how they look and how I did it. This isn't going to be a really big DIY, more like some tips and pointers as to what I did to get my lights working. I can't guarantee that they will work for you too cus there are many Ebay kits out there, but I got mine from a user named Racing Gear.

Disclaimer: Attempt this install at your own risk! I can't guarantee that everything will work, but that's how I wired mine.

When I was looking to install mine, I used George's (paperboy42190) Ebay Fog harness DIY which helped me a lot, because I had similar cables. I didn't do exactly what he did, but it's pretty close.

Sorry I don't have any full pictures of the harness to explain, but refer back to George's post for reference.

To start off, I cut off the gray plug from the switch harness and spliced that end into the parking lamp wire that I found above the fusebox in the interior driver's side footwell. To locate this wire, remove the plastic cover under the steering wheel and another cover underneath, this will allow you to access the cables. There, above the fusebox, you will see a bunch of wires connected to plugs. What I did was, I pulled out the largest plug and located a black/red wire that is the parking lamp wire using this guide. Then I used a wire tap to connect the red wire from the switch harness to the parking lamp wire.

Here's my ground location of the switch harness.

Next, I ran two wires from the switch harness through the firewall shown here.

I extended the white cable from the harness by cutting off the brown plug and soldering it to a longer wire, which I eventually did for both cables that went through the firewall.

Here's how they look like on the other side.

I ran both the red cables through the black tubing shown above and routed it down the side coming to the battery.

I connected the original white wire soldiered to a red longer wire to the battery shown here.

And the other red cable from the switch harness that connects to the fog harness, I had to cut and solder a longer wire so it would reach.

Here's where I connected the ground from the fog harness to.

And finally, picturesssssss.

Fogs off.

Button fits perfect!

Switch off.

Switch on.

Let me know what you guys think and if you have any questions. I can't take all credit for this install because I did have assistance from my uncle.

I'm just glad that they're in and working! :banana:

Thanks man. This project probably took about 5-6 hours. About 2-3 hours installing everything and another 3 hours experimenting and trial and error, lol. If I installed another set, it would probably take like 2 hours given all the tools and supplies.

lookin good man

Thanks. I love the way the front end is transformed by the kit. Just gotta get that front lip, haha.

Who did you get them from?

 

[THAiPHOON]

Who did you get them from?

The ebay fogs or the Inspires? For the ebay fogs, I got them from this seller.

I made a huge mistake guys, sorry. I got them from Racing Gear instead of TDA Motorsports. Let me fix that in the link.

looks good. what bulbs are you using?

 

[THAiPHOON]

Thanks man.

I'm just using the stock H11 bulbs that came with the kit. I'm going to replace them with Nokya Hyper Yellows when they go out.

Noyka Hyper Yellows over yellow lens.. how will those look?
I just ordered my fog lights from the same seller.
Should receive it in about 6-11 days, installed in about 12-20 days.

An update if anyone is wondering. I had fuse that went to the battery go out the other day. It was a 15 amp fuse and I just replaced it with another one and everything's working fine. I did notice some condensation from driving through a really heavy rain, but they're pretty much clear now.

 

[nodrog321]

weird. my drivers side fogs always get condensation after a wash. but it goes away after a while so not sure if theres like a hole in there or something..

You fuse tapped em ? Mine is still the wire ran all the way to the battery but I don't feel safe with that.

Yeah, I'm gonna take them out one day and make sure the o-rings on the bulbs are sealed properly. Darn ebay.. but at least they work. aranoid:

Mine are too. If you look at the white wire that you extended to the battery, there will be a little black fuse holder on it. If you pop that open, there's a 15amp fuse in it.

Edit: This black fuse holder in this pic.
