    What kind of fogs? Stock application fogs like the Alltrac lights? Or something else?

    Any automotive place has the cheaper sets, then some of the specialty places have more of a selection, and then the net has even more.

    yep the alltrac bumper will fit...its just the matter of finding one . plus you`ll want the side moldings to smooth it all out.

    if you have room and dont sell it, hold onto it if you dont mind! I think that'd be pretty sweet for a halftrac swap.

    i bought a piar of driving lights (not fogs but same concept) i have mounted them under the bumper where the tow peices are. I was wondering if anyone would know how to wire them so they come on when the regular lights do or should i keep them switch driven so i can use them as needed?

    (i know how im just looking for help with wiring. (IE what colour wire and wheres it located)

    ty for any help. :)

    okay first off there are two wires coming out of your lights right? one black and one red or white or something right? well anyways one will be ground. Ideally twist these two together and crimp them into a ground lug (i prefer to solder into the lug as well)......or if they don't reach eachother then crimp them separately into ground lugs ( I prefer to ground them together). Then ground them to a good ground (an existing bolt somewhere under there should do....or use the bolts you used to mount the lights or whatnot)


    Now you are going to need a relay....pretty much any standard 12V 4 or 5 pin relay will work. Here is the relay pin-out..

    mount this relay somewhere near the battery

    85 - this is a ground....so ground it

    86 - this will be your trigger, your lights won't work unless this trigger is hot. I would recommend connecting it to the hot lead of your marker lights (then your fogs will work only when the marker lights or headlights are on). So pull your side marker light out, there will only be two wires so find which one is hot (I'm assuming you have the means to do so, if not I forget the color....someone will have to help me out here) and splice off of that wire (again I recommend soldering but a butt connecter or a splice connector will work for a while in a pinch)

    87 - Here is your output to your lights.....connect it to your two positive leads of your fog lights

    87a - if your relay has this pin.....don't use it

    30 - this is your 12V in...connect this to your battery through a fuse



    Now you will still need a switch. It isnt necessary I guess but I always like the option of turning things off and on. Your switch can be put in line with any one of these wires. I recommend using the switch on the ground lead of your relay (85) So run pin 85 through the firewall into the car and to one end of the switch and then the other end of the switch can just go straight to ground.


    Now your fog lights (via a switch) will work only if you lights are on (headlights or marker lights)[/u]
