Help with Fog Lights!! (I HATE WIRES!)

[Lafiro]

I just saw the video.. I really wish you asked for help first, or found my thread from before that included my install. You went too far and cut the wrong ends off for one, and the make matters worse, where are the two to one red wire? Which should have connected to the two pin slots in the relay box? Why is there only 1 red wire there in your video!!!!!!!! oh no0o0o0o0o0o

I will try what I can tomorrow, and from there you can cut/splice what you need to make it work!!!!!!!!!

Fog lights should come on . NO wrong wire or bulbs are blown .

Just watched your Video the RED wire from the Fog Lights (does it go to the fog lights)
Goes too the Pin 1 & 2 wires in the under bonnet relay box

You should only have the one wire that goes to the fog lights which
connects to pin 1 and 2
and the fog light earth wire to deal with under the bonnet .

The 3 wires you have togeather should be running to the switch
if you are useing the switch supplied which you appear to be
and the switch wireing is all done inside the car by removeing the cover around the steering colum .READ INSTRUCTIONS IN PDF .
Attached again .

the rest is rubbish ,

is it possible to take a picture of what you mean? It doesn't say anything about the 3 wires in the instructions. the switch has it's own 3 wires which you hook up to ground and the d4 connector. Hmmmm...

It doesn't show well in the video but the red wire that connects to pin 1 and pin 2 in the fuse box is connected... i just cut off the white piece cuz i thought it needed to be spliced off.

I got it working... FINALLY!!!!


I reattached the old relay. Those 3 wires had to go somewhere....

So pretty much attach the long red single wire to ray's oem kit. (2 wires that go into pin 1 and pin 2 in the engine bay fuse box) With the old relay i attached the red wire coming out of it to the battery. It has a fuse along with it. Installed the other relay inside the car where the fuses are at. Install the inside switch via ground and red wire to the yellow d4 wire at pin #3.

Note: I didn't install the yellow wire (coming out of the switch inside the car) as it also didn't allow my fogs to turn on when they were spliced into both the yellow d4 wire or the dimmer wire. So I left the yellow wire from the switch inside the car hanging and taped off.

Now when I press the switch inside the car... the fog lights turn on! and off when I press it again. Now I just gotta mount it... but i'll take pics later tonight!

Only problem is the switch for the fog lights stays on... but I doubt that'll drain my battery.

Those instructions you gave me were good but it doesn't say anything about what to do with the wires once you remove the relay (the relay coming from the wires... not the relay you put inside)... nor does it say to do anything with it. To a complete noob like me ... it will confuse people. It doesn't say to tape it off or connect it anywhere. I'm just relieved I got it to work. Anyone have questions ... please feel free to ask.

The relay you hooked up to the battery is not meant to be used , nor are the wires that where attached to it , you are now running your lights off
2 realys .
