alright, just bought a set of fogs. I wanna know first if I have the harness in my car already, so I just have to plug and play. If I dont have it, then how do I hook them up. I dont wanna pay to have it done unless I must.

look at the battery cables you should have small wires coming off one of them, i think negative. Also look under front bumper if you see 2 small plugs hanging that's your fogs wires.

 

[captcurt_18]

so if I have the above mentioned, then where do I go from there?

 

[BeeFzX3]

Did you get OEM fog lights?
then you should have:
2x foglight housings
2x foglights
1x headlight+fogs switch

I don't know if you have splash guard or not, so if you have take that off.
1. remove foglight covers that you have in the bumper(black things without holes)
2. install foglight housings (black things with holes)
3. install foglights (I think they bolt in 2 places to the bumper
4. plug in connectors in foglamps, (provided you have them).
5. remove headlight switch
6. install new headlight+fogs switch
That's it.

you might also need a relay and fuse to be plugged in.

nice. beef, rep for you dude. I havent had a chance to check yet, but I hope I have the wiring in there. It would make it soooo much easier.

Old, that was my concern, because if I have to run wires thru the firewall, then i think Id be better off to take it to a professional, cause I have no idea what Im doing.

Hope you got the OEM ones haha a focus was parked at work and it had the round/oval fogs in the stock fog place and it looked pretty bad. I prefer the OEM ones. /rant

 

[captcurt_18]

yea, they are the OEM ones. They are the ones from an st that have the silver bit that go around them.

if you dont have the set up.. i'm prety darn good with wiring prob design you a home grown harnes that you will be able to put into wire and put it in. ive done it on my own and a few others

hope this helps captain....
fogs

 

[captcurt_18]

damn, thanks spider. I still havent had a chance to see if i have the harness yet, but im still hoping. ok next question, if I have the harness, but I want to wire the fogs to an independant switch that Im gunna put in my cd holder area, how would I go about that?

you would have to run the wire through the fire wall. but if your car has the harness the switch should have a pull out on it..? wirings real easy and switches can be put anywhere you can get 2 wires to it.. power in, power out. i have my lights switches in my Cd holder in my 06. keeps it Clean!

 

[BeeFzX3]

if you don't have fogs, they install regular switch.
If you have fog wiring, you need to find which wires at headlight switch are responsible for foglights.
here i found wiring diagram
http://atomic.speculation.org/Graphics/ZX3 Pics/Focus Documentation/Wiring Diagrams/va153094.pdf

so you need to connect green/black and green/red wires to the switch

 

[captcurt_18]

Alright gang, here's my swag (thanks Leadf00t):

 

[BeeFzX3]

why do you want to make a separate switch? this is plug and play

 

[oldpunk78]

dude, i've been looking for that diagram, thanks! now, if i ever feel like adding the factory switch, i know where to add the missing relay and fuse. sweet. too bad i already made a new harness...

 

[captcurt_18]

I didnt know it came with the factory style switch. I got the housings in today, and the foglights themselves and the switch are going in on saturday

 

[captcurt_18]

ok, im a bit confused. I looked under my car, but I cant find any extra wiring. maybe im just looking in the wrong area. If someone knows they have the wiring, would they be ever so kind as to take a pic for me. its worth a rep point.

 

[captcurt_18]

oh, also would like a pic of where your fogs are mounted if anyone has that. Im not worried about doing it, I just want an idea of what i need to do before I do it.

Do you have splash guard? plastic thing under the front bumper?
You need to remove it, then you can see inside the bumper.
