best way to wire fogs?
Just installed a set of OEM fogs on my 91 GXE. What's the best to way to wire them?
Not sure yet if I want the stock wiring (thru the relay) since I'd like to be able to turn them on when the parking lights are on.

My 94 Max is pre wired for fog lights. The wires are taped to the wires for the turn signals wires. Clip the ends and connect your new lights to these the red one is the + and the black one is the -. There is a place for a relay in fuse box under hood and the plug is behind panal where your cruise control switch is located. I got the switch and the relay from the Junkyard for free. I tried to connect to park light, fogs would burn for about a min. then blow tail light fuse.

If I do wire them to a separate switch, where is the power source coming from? I want to avoid connecting them directly to the battery. Also, I checked and my car is not pre-wired.
if you look in the FSM (EL section) you will be able to see where the power is tapped from on SE's that came with fogs. just find that wire and splice into it.
I Bought a set of aftermarket fog light/ driving lights from Wal-Mart for like $20. The look pretty much like the stock one's except they are rectangular, and fit the car perfectly. The only problem I am having now is the ends of the wires keep getting hot at the switch where i can turn them on and off, and they have left the wires with semi burnt ends. I guess I will have to get a new wire harness from pep boys.
