DIY: of complete FOG LAMP install

AJChubbs · 08-14-2009, 12:51 PM

Hi all, I'm going to go ahead and ask a stupid question here about the install. I recently got mine and just yesterday had the time to drop it in. Now the original black housing has wires and a gray plastic cap to that wiring that I left on. What do I do with that stuff and what do I do with the gray plastic part at the end of the wiring on my new lamp. For now I just installed the piece physically without attaching the wires. I seem to be lost from step 2 to after. Thanks and sorry for the idiotic question. Im a bit new at this.

no problem man.. since u got it installed u have to just wire up the fog lamp...

the gray peice on the black housing is im guessing for a real harness on the jdm models... but since we dont have that... u have to hard wire it to ur tail light harness....

BTW everyone i am sooooo sorry yes yes i know the wire color thing... ive been soooo slammed i cant take apart my taillights in time cuz im sooo tired i will get that hot wire color for the brake signal to all of u... soon i had a chance to do it once but my test light was broke... so i put back my panels thinking i wouldnt have to take it out again cuz i sealed them but low and behold.. the right one still leaks and moisture is in there.. i am sooo irritated by the freakin moisture...

and its such a pain in the *** to take out the panels...

will get it here hopefully tonight cuz im free sort of im just taking a break from work...
