Mine is hooked up to the yellow wire. No problems so far. I'm no electrician but maybe its the relay that is faulty and a replacement from the dealer would do the trick. If it blows again just return it.

Just put the light in and it's not bad at all. I got away with just pulling out the push-grommet that faces the ground. I left the black metal bracket in place rather than removing the other 3 grommets. As for the two nuts holding the light in place, they came out with a ratchet wrench alone...no sweat, tears, WD40, or torching. New light went in smoothly.

Has anyone figured out how to make a custom switch that toggles the BCS directly? The car is already setup to power and control the lamp...there has to be a way to just wire a switch to the rear fog circuit of the BCS.

Its a rear fog light. As simple as that. Makes your car easier to see in bad weather from behind.

The whole thing just seems odd to me... and the fact that the overseas models have it but not the US. Is it even legal? |

From Wikipedia: I guess the mentality in the states towards driving in weather is like the difference between NASCAR and Formula 1.

As far as legality, I can't answer that question. But I'm pretty sure cops will APPRECIATE your effort on keeping the highways/road accident free by using your fog light.

Steering column assembly..?
I just installed my fog light from theZstore. Problem is..cant turn it on. Now im looking to get the steering column but no one on here has mentioned where to find a left driver side steering column. Only mention the one they carry on courtesyparts(the reversed steering column). Anybody with an answer or recommendations?

theZstore didn't have the harness and center console switch available when you ordered? This fits in the blank between the seat heater switches looks really nice and factory and illuminates. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't indicate an on or off status, but oh well. Otherwise, you can get a generic rocker switch from Radio Shack and wire that up to your light.

Update: I figured I would remove the old dummy lens in anticipation of receiving the new one. Holy crap! You guys weren't kidding about those bolts! There was no removing them with a ratchet. I ended up using a combination to techniques I picked up on this (and the other) foglight install thread. I used a dremmel to get one nut off, and ended up melting the plastic on the other, pulling the bolt right through (I'm sure I can cover the hole with a large washer). All this took me over an hour. Ridiculous! I have the factory harness/plug on my 2009. Not sure what to do with that... Anyway, I put the old lens back in (put a long sheetroack screw in throught the bottom hole for the black metal backing plate) so it doesn't look stupid. The tips on this thread have been very, very helpful!

I saw you posted a while back that you wired the fog light to the cigarette lighter and I'm thinking about taking the same route you took but I have a quick question on your set up. Does the fog light button light up when the headlights turn on or does it not light up at all since it's powered through the accessory wire? Thanks
