this helped a ton!
how did you ground with orange wire….can you explain to me….?.
so one pole of the switch goes to the ground? ( 3:17 )
Where did you connect the switch?
Probably cause I’m in Canada lol. Everyone here (installer or not) calls
them zap straps. Kinda how we like to say pop instead of soda. Sorry I’m
always going to call them zap straps 😉
You technically don’t have to, but I’d highly recommend it for best
performance and safety.
i didn’t understand the switch part , there’s 2 wires from the relays (
negative ) those goes to the switch and then other from the switch to the
ground or each cable for each pole of the switch?
To ground.
What gauge wire did you use?
don’t forget the headlight fluid!!!!
switch 3 prong and #1 ground middle #2 to relay 86 & 87 12volt and #3 power
for battery ? but im confuse your post video not show switch 3 prong to
where area and 86 & 87 12 volt with fuse to battery and 85 ground to body
and 30 positive to fog light
Use separate relays and switches.
They’re just generic yellow driving lights from the auto parts store.
your car engine is so clean.. 🙂
Kan you do that exact same installation on a 2005 f150?
I’m in canada too and here we say zip ties lol
How could you wire fog lights and off road lights on different switches.
can you tie into the parking lamps as a 12v ignition source?
How do you make the frog legs yellow do you paint the inside reflector
mirrors where the light reflex back outside the front fog lights or do you
just paint the lens from the inside out with transparent yellow 3m paint
@anthonyj350 Oo so basically instead of hooking the switch to the ignition
you used the ground connection. Thanks
i only used 1 relay for 2 fogs, is it ok?
you didn’t cover wiring the switch, It’s a three prong switch and you only
showed a ground wire and a trigger wire. Are you not using the third prong?
by splicing them into the parking lamp curcit would u have problems with
fuses blowing due to maybe the lights using more amperage or theres no
problem at all doing this to any car?
Yup, the guy wanted to be able to turn them on no matter what. You could
hook the relay up to ignition and a switched ground if you only want them
to come on when the key is on as well.
Not if you use a relay and only use the parking lights to energize the
relay and get the main power from the battery or a heavy gauge ignition
wire. You only need 500 milliamps to energize the relay.
I wired up the relay for a negative trip. One side to ground, the other to
trip the relay. So when the switch goes on it sends a ground signal to the
relay.
Should be fine, as long as the relay used is rated for the amount of
amperage the lights can pull.
do you have to have a relay and a fuse for fog lights and offroad lights
What brand and model are these lights?
What would the best ignition source be in order to wire it so it only comes
in with the key?
zip ties. not zap straps. no idea were you EVER heard that phrase. but good
videos keep it up
thanks a lot for this vid man! just one question, though. one brown wire
goes to the positive side of the switch and the other brown wire goes to
the negative side of the switch? is that togauge wire by the way?
hay could i put a 06 grill on a 03
it’s all good, i live on the states side of the border and ive just never
heard that phrasing i guess lol
Not sure. You’d have to compare the clips if they line up and if the head
lights have the correct angle where the grille lines up to them.
Ya you’re the second person to mention that to me on youtube. I had to
google search it cause I didn’t understand why people haven’t heard of the
term. When you search it, it shows both lol.
Usually I go right to the ignition harness and put a fuse in line just to
be safe. If your cigarette lighter switches with the ignition you can go
there as well, but if you go there only use that to energize the relay,
don’t use that source to power the fogs.
Yup
Yes
