I know I'm kind of reviving this thread from the dead LOL. AK wanted to say thank you for the write up on this, the fog light and new LEDs all around as well as upgraded HID headlights are my next mod for my Z.

The question I have for everyone is has anyone tried wiring this to the illumination wire that goes to the head unit? Meaning the same wire that tells an aftermarket HU to dim the screen for night time because the headlights are on.

The reason I ask is California has a law in the vehicle code that says rear fog lights cannot be used unless the headlights are on. I would prefer wiring it that way just so that it functions 100% legally, but obviously if it doesn't want to work properly I will just tap into the accessory power wire.

Wanted to hear anyone's thoughts on that. Thanks!
IIRC, with the kit, this light can be wired almost any way you want. The toggle switch at the center console turns the light on, it can be wired as an extra brake light without too much trouble. Kalifornia has some silly laws, your best bet is to move...
