Damn Ebay Foglights
So I bought some ebay jdm yellow fog lights and besides them being total crap, they didn't even come with instructions. Does anyone have some instructions on how the wire these? And they are not even bright, except from certain angles, is that normal??
I have some like these
PS I wired them w/o instructions and they work except the led in the turn on button is always on

I think I may have found the answer. To anyone else who has this prob. I will tap the yellow wires (kinda weird, but the whole setup has one black, one red, and 2 yellow wires), into the parking lights or headlight wire. So the whole fog light systems will only be able to be turned on iff the parking lights or headlights are on. As opposed to now, where I can turn them on independently.

IDK about anyone else, but I have just liked to wire things the way their supposed to be. I used be the person that if their radiator fan didn't work, i would just wire it to a switch and a battery. I like clean stuff done the right way now, so somethin for ya to keep in mind.
Just my .02 cents

You actualy want to wire them to your low beams. In some states it's illegal to have them on with the high beams. So they should turn off with high beams but come on with low beams.

Yep, thats what I did. I tapped into the positive on the low beams. Now when the low beams are on, my foglights can be turned on. But they also have a switch, so they are independent of each other. I can have my lows on w/o having the fogs on.
Also, the fogs aren't really that bright, except in certain angles, is there a way to fix this?
