I've got a CH ES Lancer, I've had foglights sitting in my house for a few weeks now, I got them from ebay, they didn't come with instructions. I just need to work out where each of the bits go. Installing the actual lights is simple enough, I'm not sure where the fog light is supposed to draw its powerfrom.


This first pic is of a relay, fuse then the grounding wire?


This is the relay and the fuse again, the questions is why is there a external relay when there is a spot for a relay in the fusebox in the engine bay? (sorry if i sound really noob)


Two blue wires, i'm not really sure what these are for? One comes from the right wire in the first picture, and the other comes from the switch. Now are these supposed to be connect to the ecu ? or are they just for connecting the button the the fog lights though the firewall via one of those rubber gromits?


This is the switch with a black grounding wire(right) and a yellow wire( not sure where this is suppsoed to go)



As you can see instruction would be of great help does anyone have a copy of the instructions they can send and send to me?

 

sometimes these things come in with more parts for a " uneversal "fitment., if you cant figure them out, u can go simple and just hook up the power wire from any source and line up with switch and fuse then another wire from swith to ground...Good Luck.

 

You can install them without adding any additional switches. You can either wire them up to go on with your headlights or with your parking lights. I have mines wired up to the latter.

shopping list
- 16 gauge wire
- 12 volt automotive relay
- fuse holder
- spade terminals 16 gauge type
-soldering iron and solder

first locate(in the under-hood fusebox) the parking light fuse. If you can solder you could opt to dissasemble the fusebox and T into the wire that the fuse interupts. If not you can just wrap the wire around the fuse and reinsert it. This wire will serve to be your 'SIGNAL WIRE" which connects to the relay. Applying a 12V signal to the wire (ie: Switching on your parking lights) switched the relay between on/off per say.

Next you will need a wire connected from your BATTERY POSITIVE and another from a good GROUND(Chassis is preferred).

Your Fog Light requires a Positive and a Ground to power on. What the relay allows you to do is use a low amperage source(parking light fuse) as a signal that tells the relay to let the power thru to the circuit. DO NOT wire the fog light straight to any fuses. Fusible links are fused to break the circuit if the amperage the fuse is rated at is exceeded. By wiring directly to the fuse you WILL exceed the amperage and the fuse will blow.

So... you should now have "POSITIVE" "GROUND" and "SIGNAL" wires coming from your car. From your foglights you will have "FOG GROUND" and "FOG POSITIVE". On the relay there should be four pins. This s where you have a problem....the relay that your kit came with is unlabeled and it is because of this that you do not know which pin corresponds to what wire. I recommend purchasing a new 12 Volt relay because it will come with a diagram identifying each pin. So after identifying the pins using the diagram you should have the following on the relay. positive in, ground, 12 volt signal, and positive out. Te relay goes in between the wires from your car and the fog lights wires.
Connect as follows.....
POSITIVE(from car battery positive) connects to "positive in"(on the relay)
GROUND(from chassis ground) connects to BOTH "FOG GROUND"(from fog lights) and "ground"(on the relay)
SIGNAL(from parking light fuse) connects to "12 volt signal"(on the relay)
FOG POSITIVE(from fog lights) connects to "positive out"(on the relay)

You should fuse the positive wire connected to the battery in case you get any type of power spike so it wouldn't damage your lights. Lemme know if you understand this enough. Shootz!

 

hook it up to the park lights
