On my 09 i do have a plug next to the fog light with V-AC of (6). Any word on how to get this to work. do i need to purchase the light housing because i have no way to plg a light into the fog light currently on the car.

Any word on this?

i have attached a pic of what it looks like the cable/plug for the light

The stock fog light in the Z in the US is a dummy light. You need to purchase a new one. But since you already have all the wires run I'd just pick one up from Z1.

NICE but?
 

who is Z1 i am new here sorry for the trouble...

Hey no problem man

JDM Fairlady Z Reverse Fog Light

There you go.

There are a bunch of DIY on the forum about how to remove the dummy light.

Thanks got it.

I just got another question i have no switch next to the seats heaters switch. do i need a switch for the fog light or maybe this light will work with the brakes light or reverse light ???

anybody???

Tap the wire to the brake light or parking light. I tapped mine to the parking light. No switch needed.

Ricardo - go to the DIY section, and you will find a few threads on installing the fog light. Two specifically deal with using the factory harness you found. Utilizing the harness involves tapping into the wiring found in the passenger footwell.

As an alternative, you can simply wire the light directly into the factory harness found in the trunk.

The EVO-R light has two hot leads - one for flash, one for solid on. I plan on wiring the light so it flashes in reverse, and comes on solid when I hit the brakes. Take a look at this thread:

Dave took it a bit farther than I will be by installing an on/off switch, but his write-up is exceptional.

Good Luck!

Stalk for this is far beyond me.
How hard could it be? I think someone
Said the Canadian stalk was right but
Cost alot.

Can you explain how you tapped into the wires? Everyone who has done a DIY, has assumed we all know how to do that properly. I'm clueless on that part.

One DIY used some type of clip to splice the wires together. That seems like a simpler method than cutting and soldering.

Thanks in advance. :tup:

Just go to your local hardware shop (Home Depot, Lowes, Ace) They should have them. Just ask the clerk for "18 gauge wire taps" and they will show you. They're basically plastic clips with a metal blade in them. You put the current wire on one side, and your splice wire on the other, press the blade down onto them, and close the cap. Done! No shrink wrap needed, and no soldiering needed. :tup:

The best wire taps I've found were at Radioshack. They have taps for telephone wire that work well with 22-24 AWG electrical wire.

Thanks for the post i got all info i need thanks thanks...

thanks gurneyeagle

Thanks spear and Chris! :tup:

I know that sounded like a stupid question, but it was the one thing that either wasn't detailed, or I had no experience with.

I appreciate your patience with a newby question.
