Adding fog lamps?

[Monkeygrits]

Im not wiring them factory. Probably just get an aftermarket foglight wiring kit with a relay, all the wiring, fuse, and switch. I have a pair of h11 sockets coming as well. KC HILITES makes a nice wiring kit. Its 40 bucks i think on ebay. Im gonna check advance auto tomorrow maybe. Heres a link to the kit on amazon.

What do you think about the kits on eBay for around $20?

Looks cheap IMO. Plus reviews on amazon for the same kits say that the push button switch is garbage and breaks easily.

Got ya. I need to make this happen soon, I hate having no fog lights.

A little update. I picked up this wiring kit at advance auto for around 11 bucks. Looks to have the same specs as the kc hilites kit only cheaper. I also got a different switch that is smaller and lights up blue.

I bought that same kit at auto zone several years ago and it worked fine. Is it a 2 or 3 wire switch? You might be able to find an oem one off of another car to use.

Edit: I'll probably buy that, soon but I need to find some fog lights and bezels for cheap.

3 wire switch. My only issue is the power wire that comes off the switch. Its supposed to be wired to the low beams or parking lights etc. Im wondering if this will cause an issue. I was thinking about running it back out to the battery. The ebay link for the lights I bought was the cheapest and best lights I have found.

Running to the parking light will make it where they can only be turned on if the headlight switch is on. Otherwise you could turn them on anytime. It's up to you, I've done it both ways before.

I can't find any fog bezels anywhere.

I think the parking lights go through the BCM box. I need an ignition controlled source that doest go through this. Dont wanna risk screwing it up.
