Guys, if you're coming to the meet tonight - come see me/my car (Silver 5th gen, no wing, white plates) and I'll explain how to wire up foggies.

I have the Prelude JDM fogs, but with an aftermarket wiring harness/relay. It was/is very simple to do.

So yeah, I'll explain it to anyone who wants to have a look - otherwise I'll write up something this weekend perhaps?

ok guys, i decided to screw the relay and just do what i did in my own diagram.

it all works but i have a light on my switch to say red for off and green for on. since i've connected it directly to my battery the red light is on constantly. it's a midget bulb so it won't drain my battery would it?

[ECU-MAN]

your above pic will work, but I dont recomend it

you really should be using a relay and a fues.

get an automotive relay from jaycar

cat #
CAT. NO. SY4068

and geta relay base while your there

CAT. NO. SY4069

Any one have the wiring drawing for EG fog lights?
How, where to cut the bumper hole to hold the EG6 fog lights?

[n/a]

thank ECU-MAN, atm i'll keep my current setup. when i can be bothered i'll get the relay and base.

[jrakasp]

have u wired ur foggies yet man?
i want to wired up me foggies too
u reckon u could give me a hand?

[NightRyder]

I've hooked up my foggies onto my car and is fairly easy.
However i had the wiring harness so it was plug and play. But I may be able to assist with creating a wiring harness from stratch so long as I can see the base electronic diagram to refer to.

What sort of wire do you use for wiring ?

[VTi_b0i]

i got mine in and working with the help of a mate... BUT they work for only 5-10mins then the fuse blows :( we have searched theu to find a problem but cant seem to :(

lol u need the relay. on my old car it use to turn the lights off when the car would turn off and only turn on if the headlights were on at the same time too...

anyway when my mum bought her lancer she had foggies wired up ur bodgy ways and the switch kept getting hot, didnt feel too safe...

[FR33K]

hmmmmm and what gauge wiring should i use ?? my foglights are 35w..

[JasonGilholme]

The thicker the better.

Also using a relay makes sure you don't actually blow your switch or anything else that is apart of the wiring.

Its easy and cheap. Just do it.

[FR33K]

yeh i know the thicker the better obviously.. but what would be a minimum.

and instead of getting power from the fuse box going to the switch.. cant i just splice into the power for my demister switch in the dash ?

[FR33K]

did mine over the weekend.. pretty easy.. took maybe 3 hours of my time..
used the same relay as the one provided in the diagram.
for the power running to the switch i spliced into my demister power wire and ran a wire to the fogs switch. for the fogs ground wire i used my headlight ground thats already there..
heres how i did it:
