^^Thank You. I will do so this evening when it is a little bit darker out so you can clearly see it.

I'll be installing mine tomorrow, I'll be tying it this way because that's what I was after.

Well I have it wired to the parking light and brake light (red & green wire). With the lights off the fog lights up with the brake lights (like a fourth brake light I guess) but with the lights on, I am not noticing the fog light getting any brighter like the brake lights...... I am going to wait an hourish till its darker to see if I can see any difference.

Anyone find a way to make the light brighten??

Yea the way you are doing it will not work since the circuit runs on 12VDC. When you brake you are sending 12VDC to it and when the lights are on you are sending 12VDC. It won’t make a difference if you break with the lights on...either way it is getting 12v so it will just be illuminated and not get any brighter. When you have a dual element light bulb it gets brighter when you brake because of the second element in the bulb. These LEDs you will not get any brighter.

Ya I figured it wouldn't..... I did already know about the replacement bulb thing though on the stock light. You need the 7446 bulb and a harness from any brake light at the wreckers that uses that bulb.

I just wanted the all LED look. I guess I still like that it lights up when the lights are off, it comes on like a fourth brake light.

Although now I am thinking maybe if I but an inline resistor on the parking light wire that then I could lower what it's getting on that wire down around 6v....... I think I should ask my old man he's an electronics junkie.

I thought someone had done it with a resistor and a relay setup.

Dave - I'm going to try and pull apart my interior this weekend, and have a question concerning your pictures.

Where exactly is the wiring harness you tapped into and the ground point in the trunk area? Is the picture turned?

From your pictures it looks like the items are on the left side verticle panel in the trunk, but when you look at a distance shot taken of the trunk area, there's nothing on the left side.

Any advice you can provide is most appreciated.

Just an update for you guys. I never received and EVO-R fog replacement under warranty as promised. I was told it would be replaced and Jay is not responding to my PMs or emails. Last I heard it was send me your contact information so he could ship it. I did so...twice. I see he has logged into the forum on multiple occasions. I am going to have to fork out another $100+ to replace it since the car is for sale. I have listed the car with the fog and part of the sale since I expected to have a replacement by now. Would not have been a big deal if no one ever said they would replace it to begin with.....

^^thats really unacceptable. That should be replaced for free. I've been trying to contact Jay and he's not responding to my Pm's either and I'm trying to actually buy one. This is not really helping his reputation with all the delays and days of logging on and not responding.
