So I hooked up my fog lights today. My first attempt I broke the HF switch because i was trying to squeeze too thick of a wire into the hole. *Found out later that I would have hooked it up wrong* The switches I'm use to have 3 prongs this one only had 2 holes with screws in them.
It's a hot wire from the fuses box, in my case I use the ignition switch fuse, and then a hot wire straight to the lights. No ground wire... which is weird. Since the lights are grounded to the bumper, it made sense to me. Weird how it works actually.

Switch...Almost looks stock, not really a fan about the size of the pull knob.



Only the fog lights and taxi sign ha ha the id number was 1157... isn't that a bulb size?

Nice job Greg! they look good.

I have a set on the 72 but don't use them much. They can come in handy on a back road with no street lights.

Thanks guys, I like them a lot, and I was happy I could make use of the hole next to the brake warning light. The cap that when there was MIA!!! As for lighting, I don't know how much difference they will make, they don't seem to be very bright. I was just going for the "cool" factor.  ;D Might talk to Shawn see if I could put an LED or something brighter in there.

They don't have to be real bright, it's the way the lens is made to cut through the fog.
