Make sure you have a good connection on Pin 1 before trying to turn the fogs on, as they draw a decent amount of current.

TK's picture is just showing the connection for the switch lighting wires. You still have to make the connections to the headlight stalk connector.

ok so i have to make the stalk connections even if i dont want the dash to light up with the symbols? what wires do i use for thouse i only have the ground pink and white on the switches and they go to the relay i don hae he 2 wires like the one in this kit. also would it be easier to just run he fogs through and connect them through the switch? im just at a loss seems like everyone has more wires on their kits then i do

Scott,

I got my headlight/foglight kit from Ebay installed everything (including the relay) but the switch that came with the foglight kit was unbelievably low quality. I bought another switch off of ebay and still waiting for it. Anyways, When i opened the D4 connector on the headlight stalk, the yellow wire that we are supposed to cut-off and connect two wires from the switch does not lead to anything apart from supply ground to the relay right? I dont know why we split that wire and connect the other wires from the switch to the D4 yellow wire that is open on the stalk side.

Can you please draw a diagram as how the switch (with led light) works related to the yellow wire (no 3 i assume?). All i know it that the switch bridges the ground to the relay.


Thanks!
