Fog Lights (whats needed to install)

My car didnt come with stock foglights on the bottom of the bumber, but i would really like to install a set. What do i need to have them installed? wires? Switches?

Are you installing OEM or aftermarket?

depends on how you want to hook them up. if you go to say pep boys you can just get a kit with everything in it. if not then youll need a 12v on-off switch / and lets say that you have 2 55w bulbs in each light so then youll need say a 10 amp fuse / also need a 12v relay with normally open contacts / probably want to get 18 or 16 ga wire for power / and a few stacons (wire crimps) for connection. heat shrink tubing could also give you that pro touch (and protection)

they have a good deal on GXE fogs. They are I think like 60 or so with the wiring (that may be wrong).

The GXE fogs look better on cars without a front lip (such as stillen or WW) because they are smaller. If you had the lip I would go with SE fogs though because the lip frames them perfectly. The SE fogs will be expensive new though.


More than likely you car is already wired. I have had 2 GXEs and both were pre wired (90, 92) for fogs. The wire is taped up with the front turn signal wires behind the bumper. Just look and see. The same with the switch. Mine were taped up in the bundle of wires that go to the buttons around the steering wheel.

Not all cars are pre wired though because I know some people have said theirs wasnt. Either they couldnt find it or they were not pre wired. I just know mine were.
