They're not hard to install. I'd remove your front bumper so you can take off the crash-reinforcement bar, drill holes, and mount the fogs into that.
Then wiring is really simple...the fogs can be grounded to the bolts you use to bolt them in. Then you've got a relay that comes with the fog lights. One wire goes to ground(I'd just use the screw you use to bolt the relay into the metal part of the car), one goes to your switch, one goes to a fuse and then the battery and one goes to the two fogs. The instructions should have a picture and more details. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

if you want them to light up with your headlights, put 85 to one of the headlight fuses in the engine bay fuse box. if you want them to light up with your parking lights, 85 to your side marker (splice into). This post has been edited by Batman722: May 20, 2005 - 12:33 AM -------------------- |

[right][snapback]289394[/snapback][/right] if you don't want them to light up, don't use any wires J/K wire them just like the diagram (use the switch to fully control them) -------------------- |
