Wiring Up 08 Fogs/Fix Parking Light

Hey guys,

Figure i'd write up a little "how to" on installing fogs from a 6thgen to a 6.5gen


Step 1: Disconnect wiring harness from your headlights....
Cut back the black tape/tubing so you can see your color wires



You see there's a black wire (Ground) and a white wire (Pos) for the fogs...
Cut them from the harness...



It's the corner part of the wiring harness....

now extend these wires about 2 feet down to you have some slack and test your fogs...
NOTE: I actually had the connectors so it was easier for me to test... some of you might need to make your own harness or get H.I.D.'s to finish this step...



once you did that your pretty much done... make sure your connections are good and sealed tight...
also make sure you test everything out :bang: :bang:

Good luck! Hope this helps out some people

If you guys decide to get the 07/08 headlights you will notice once you plug it in to the stock harness the parking lights will not light up. In order to fix this you must take the original harness to the car and cut the ORANGE and THE RED N BLUE wire and splice them together. This will eliminate the problem and the parking light will function normally.




FOGS:
When you look at the harness there in the corner you will see the white and black wire in the corner.... you simply cut that wire and extend down to your fogs.... This will work with the factory fog light switch
