October 2004 --> My fog lights arrived.
Cost: $165 with shipping.
They are aftermarket fog lights, but are very similar to the OEM ones. There are few minor differences and I'll point them out during the installation.
Let's get started....
STEP 1: Tools and parts to work with
Harness --> the difference between the aftermarket and the OEM one.
-----------------------------------Aftermaket----------------OEM
Switch pin-------------------------white-------------------->blue
Relays-------------------------2 black ones---------->1-black, 1-grey
Fog light 3 wire terminals--------red--------------->blue/red
----------------------------------------white---------------->white/green
---------------------------------------yellow--------------->red/green
STEP 2: Installing the switch harness (Time: 30 minutes)
It was a cold/windy day so I decided to start the installation from interior.
Dashboard cover off
I decided to install the ground wire somewhere else, the cruise control box was hard to get to.
Testing if ground works --> perfect. Finished, dashboard cover back on
STEP 3: Installing the fog light harness (Time: 4 hours)
I did not want to take off the bumper so I did it the harder way. It was a lot of work to make sure the harness would not touch what it was not supposed to.
Before proceeding I disconnected the car battery.
Had hard time taking off the relay box undercover but still was able to take out the 14 and 20 pin connectors.
A buddy of mine helped me hook the 3 terminals into the connectors.
Reconnected the battery.
STEP 4: Installing the fog lights (Time: 45 minutes both sides)
I did it without taking the bumper off.
Installed.
