fogs

ok so basically i am installing 99 galant fogs on my 2010 lancer de. i have to make the connectors and switch from scratch. the bulbs used are 893 12.8v and 38w. so my question is: 1. what gauge wire do i use? and 2. how do i even wire this thing?

Just pick up a Hid relay harness that way they are powered correctly without any chance of melting wires . Change out the plug , instead of being to a ballast which is a 9006 bulb convert to plug to a 880/H11 plug . After that use the female harness positive as the trigger for a button inside the car with it switched on and off by getting a tap and tapping into your low beam or parking lamps . For the negative on the trigger just ground it out somewhere .

GL !

If needed i can try and make a harness like this !

They usually pop out with a little force or get a small.flat head and from the inside pry it a bit .
