wiring fog lights

Hello,

Is there an easy step by step to wire stock fog lights to your head lights so when you turn on your head lights the fog lights also turn on.

I have a 2001 2.2L and put the z24 bumper with fogs on it and I just want to hook the fogs up to work with my head lights.

Or if someone has an easier way of making them work than please share your ideas.

Thanks.

I think I posted up a diagram in this forum, or possibly audio/elec. I'll check in a bit... work comp doesn't like the search function.

I have seen this post.

I was wondering if there was a good step by step guide.

Also is there a post on wiring them into the headlights?

The fog light bulb has 2 prongs do you connect a wire straight from the prong?

How step-by-step are you looking for?

Run a wire from the low-beam power wire (use a test light/DMM) to pin 85 (basically instead of the wire coming from the "fusebox" in the picture, it will be the headlight.

Using the diagram in the other thread, the changes would look like this:

There should already be the 2 wires coming from the housing, one for power, one for ground. The power wire will be hooked up to pin 87 on the relay.

Should. If the housings use H3's (I think those are them) there should be a ground wire already hooked up, then you just need one for power. If you are using stock fogs, then you may have to get a socket.

In any case as long as the relay is wired properly, no worries.

Is there a plug that I can get?

if not will it work if I ground one pin and run the other to the relay?

Check your local auto-parts and see if they have a socket for an 880 bulb (stock blub size).
