i just bought some hella fog lights and wanna install.. thats the easy part.. but i need to splice em into a power source... what would you guys recommend wiring it to ... like directly to the battery or tie into another wire? thanks

 

-take the negative (-) that to the body
-now what you SHOULD do is take the positice (+) and tap into the wires going into your sidelights (or whatever u call em).
-but if u want to turn on your fog lights without turning on your side lights, wiring directly to the battery should be fine..unless anyone else says ohterwise.

 

i dotn really wanna be drilling holes in my fire wall if i dont have to to wire it to tha battery.... and i dont wanna F-with the side markers... i heard that we have a wire that is running from the engine through the firewall that is set up to install fog lights but i dont know if thats true.

 

If you wire them directly to the battery, they'll be on all the time. Need to put a toggle switch in there, usually fog lights come with all the switches and wire etc. If it were me, I'd wire them to the corner lights, just how I like though. If the lights didn't come with the wire and switches, you got ripped off, go to Radio Shack or Home Depot etc. and get yourself that stuff.
Good luck bro!

 

yea, that's one reason i got a fog light with a wireless remote
but tapping into the + of the side light isnt hard at all, even if u cut all the way through, all u need to do is connect them back together.

but if there is a wire like that, it'll make installs a lot easier. there's lots of people who have installed fog lights on their lancer so those people should speak up!!

 

they won't be on all the time because the fog lights should come with a switch.

 

nah bro they came with it all .... wiring and swithch ... i just wanna know where i should tap into for power.... and like if i tap into the side lights and like turn the fog lights off will it turn the side markers off too?

 

no, they won't turn off the side markers. i'll draw up a crude picture or something. hold on a couple minutes

 

I recomend not drilling through the fire wall. I was drilling through mine for a power wire hole, for my amp. I went a little high and went right through my brake booster. $500 repair job for that. If you can find a way around drilling I recomend it. Or just drill safely

 

somewhere in our car near the passengerside there is a section that houses all of the wiring from the ingine to the car... alls i have to do is find out how to gain excess to it?...anyone know?

 

alright, i can't draw and i dont think i did a good job on it so i wont even bother posting it up

im sure u could tap into some wires near the fuse box or something..i have to look at my lancer, i havent installed any electronic stuff in it yet.

 

thansk anyway bro .. appreciate the help playboys
