Can you snap a picture of how your HIDs are connected to the fogs?

Thanks for all of the info, so just to clarify...I should connect the wire from pin 4 to pin 7 and NOT pin 11 like in the earlier post? I have HIDs in my foglights as well. The kit that I used has a connector on the relay harness that plugs into one of the foglight plugs that the bulb normally plugs into (doesn't matter which) and then power is tapped from the battery with a ground wire connected. The HID bulbs are connected tot he ballasts which are connected to the relay harness. I hope that wasn't too confusing lol.

OK - That gives me a bit more of a picture. The kit is taking the stock fog light feed and uses it to drive the coil of a relay. The contacts of that relay then switch battery power to the fogs.

Either 7 or 11 should work. They are both grounds. The reason I recommended 11 over 7 is that the wire is the same gauge as 4, so tap splicing is easier.

Well I tried and the plug was connected and the HIDs were clicking, my option and Brians as well, is to use the cables set to the the projector fogs, it is very easy to install and it has a switch for the function, I really wanted to use the stalk switch but this what I need to do. With this I can turn on the fogs when I want with no hassle, thanxs CT and thanxs brian, I told you that I would use you option or opinion. Thanks to all. Holla at your boy.

If you can snap some pictures of how the HID fogs are wired in and scan any wiring diagram that came with them, we can figure out how to make them work with the OEM stalk.

Just so that you know CT, I had already started the wiring to the fogs, since I brought the projectors from Garm, meaning the fogs & the retrofit I wanted that look, you know, halos on top and the fogs at the same time, but with the stock wires we all know that cant be done that way, unless you modify it. Now the way I have it connected, and sorry I cant take pics at this moment, is from the stock wires, I had to eliminate the stock H11 plug to accomadate the H3 HID, I also had the HID for the H11 and with no problems, but since I wanted the the fogs when I want them going on with the parking lights. But with the projector kit you can tap into that wire to a relay and a switch that is apart, if I can try some else to keep the function with the stalk, well I m all eyes (ha ha ha). Hello we are writing here let me know I owe you the pics. Holla at your boy.
