Default Re: DIY eBay Fog Lights Manuals: DOWNLOAD HERE

HELP!

I finallly got the fog lighs to work, but only after ripping out a pin from the switch (a red wire) and touching it to the yellow wire. You can see it from the picture below:




As you can see in the first picture, the far red wire is disconnected from the switch. Even when I connect it to its proper socket, the fog lights will not illuminate when the lights are on or when the switch is pressed. The relay will not work either.

When the red wire is connected (touched) to the yellow wire, the relay works (to my surprise) and the fog lights come on. How do I get the damn switch to work properly and for the fog lights to come on when the lights come on?

Here are some other pictures:

Nope. No luck. If I did that, there is no pin there to connect to inside the fuse box, meaning there are only three prongs inside that fuse box, pins 2, 3, and 4 are present, but not 1.

Ok then grab a testlight and check which pin has power when your light switch is on. One of them is bound to. If not look up online to see what cable under there is for your parking lights. Any one with access to an alarm manual or diagram for that car can tell you I'm on my iPhone and can't look up the website I have. Hope that helps lmk

I beleive that is what I did. I connected the broken red wire to the yellow wire, and now the fog lights work when I turn on the low or hi beams. Of course, the switch does not work. They only come on when the lights come on. Oh, and the one wire coming out of the fuse tap? That wire was correct (the way I have it now, aka all the way on pin 4, to the right).
