Im trying to get my fog lights working and I have nothing wired up yet. I also want to avoid messing with the fuse box.

So would this work? Splice the positive and ground from each of my headlights and run them to the fogs right below the headlights. That way they turn on with low beams automatically.

Would I run into any problems like the circuit overloading or fuse going out, etc?

 

If you're going to do that, use relays and get power directly from battery. Just use the headlight wires as the signal to turn on the relay, and have the relay contact supply power to your fog lights. And make sure you fuse the wire that goes from your battery to the relay contact (close to the battery as possible)

You probably COULD get away with just daisy chaining them off of your headlights.... but it's better to do things the proper way. Put in a little bit of effort now, and about $5 and you'll never have to worry about them ever.

 

And I assume there is a battery wire near the fuse box?

 

I make and sell plug-n-play harness for foglights..

 

Yeah, there's a positive battery post, and i think a ground stud in the fuse box under the hood. Or you can just find a stock ground screw somewhere else under the hood. I know there's one behind the driver's headlight near the ECU.

Or buy a harness from this guy. lol ^^ whatever floats your boat.

 

Thanks

 

Could i splice the ground from the headlights, or should i just attach the wire to some random bolt?

 

not just any random bolt, but any screw or bolt that hold in a ground wire should do the trick

 

Do you happen to know which bolts are grounded? I'm not that good at electrical

 

usually if it is a single wire just connected to the frame its ground wire, and they are typically black wires
