Undecided about the fog light?! Help

henryy370z

Should I get it and make it a brake light or leave it on at all time? What have you guys done!??

I had mine on a switch that I could control, but if I had not done that I would have wired it into the headlight switch so if they were on it was on. I did not like the idea of it being another brake light.

If I were going to install the fog light, I'd get one of the lights that allows constant on (wired to ignition, head lights, or tail lights) and blink on brake (light has built-in blinker circuit). Best of both worlds.
I've seen at least one light that will do all that on this site, but can't remember where - Search is your friend.

I went with 4th brake light. I will be modifying it to have a dim setting and a full bright setting when I press the brakes.

It's good and dandy to have it on all the time, but it's REALLY bright, and it catches too much attention if it's on all the time.
I had a cop pull me over to ask if my lights were ok... And after I swapped cars with a buddy, I realized its sooooo bright that THAT'S why people were tailgating me, LOL

Which one do you have? EVO-R or OEM?

Kevin@RAD

I like it with the switch. You have the ability to turn it on and off.

We've done it for a few customers at our shop and they have nothing to complain about.

I feel like 3 brake lights is more than enough for me. Just a preference I guess.

I get mine installed next weekend...will put the switch between the heated seat switches and use it as a brake light.

I've got the EVO-R fog light and went with "on" with the brakes and "flashing" in reverse.

Honestly, it's not as bright as the OEM LEDs installed on the car. To me, it's just a little bling to separate my car from stock.

Just installed my Evo-R on Thursday and I went with on with parking lights and flashing when braking. I like it, I've gotten a lot of compliments on it already and I've noticed cars slowing down as soon as I do when i start braking instead of riding up my ***.....they still creep though.....

I have the OEM installed so it comes on with my headlights. Had lots of ppl complain that it is outrageously bright when they drive behind me. Especially great in foggy conditions though.

That's the EVO-R Light. you can purchase it from theZstore.com for $115 approx.

I have it installed on my Z. I did the blinking-on-brake with this light as one of my greatest fears is the ditzy blonde (or whatever hair color, not to be picky here) female driver on the cell phone not paying attention to driving while texting/fixing her makeup/ thinking of shopping..whatever... so, figured this MAY help. No guarantees obviously...

i got the oem one from Z1 with the short pigtail they offer to get wired right to the license plate lights. i was gonna get the switch but the extra money and install time wasnt worth it considering i would be just turning it on all the time anyway. just make sure whatever you do just solder your connections if you dont use the switch.
