truthfully it doesn't seem that bad. some people would think you are driving with high beams on if you had both the oem low beam and fogs on

Thanks for the pictures! It looks great and if you could share your wiring diagrams, aka what you tapped into that would be great.

As for running the fog lights all day, well it can crack your housing as they produce a lot of heat, so be warned. It would be illegal to run only the fogs at night while driving, you can't see more then 25'!?!

this is what I pretty much use for reference. due to the fact everything i bought from amazon came with a harness, relay, and wires. even extra wires if not long enough.



everything is already plug and play. you just got to attach the grounds to a bolt or screw, plug into battery, and the switch power wire, tap it with the IGN fuse inside the car.

Bc the fogs are up high in,the headlight housing the output is very useful n like driving lights unlike traditional low fogs on the bumper. The output usually sucks n jus for looks imo

Thank you. You got us that much quicker then I expected to see it!

It looks pretty easy to wire up, just don't want to cut into the bumper so I'd probably fabricate something myself!

I used the same set up in my pick up for my aircraft landing lights. However, I tied the wire from the ignition to the high beam feed, that way the driving lights only came on when the high beams were on.
