I got aftermarket fogs today and the wires leading to the switch are too short to reach the cabin(need about 3 more ft!!) any advice? For now, I plan on finding more wire and lengthening the wire. Also I connected it straight to my battery as the manual says, will that drain directly from my battery or will it use the alternator? Thanks

I searched but didn't find anything. Maybe searched for the wrong keywords.

 

Your battery terminals are integral to the charging system, it's OK to wire it that way, but I would recommend an in-line fuse, or wire it to an existing circuit in the fuse box. You can lengthen the wires using the same guage wiring and some butt connectors or solder. I would recommend shrink wrap as well (get it at Radio Shack).

Let me leave you with a piece of advice: In past cars that I've installed aftermarket fogs onto, I pulled the power directly from the parking lights. This elimnates the need to install an additional switch or run wire into the cabin. Plus, you never forget to turn on your fog lights.

 

Thanks cwa, thats what I needed to know.

 

not enough wire eh? all the setups ive had seemed to come with too much wire.... just go buy some more wire and extend the ones u need
