Access to the purple wire?
I got one foglight installed on my Z, and tomorrow I will do the other. Toque has already cautioned me about his adventure with the purple wire under the foglight relay #39. I found I could unclip the upper part of the underhood fuse box and move it aside a bit,but not enough to figure out which purple wire is the one I want, no less work on it so I can solder in my fogs' hot leads. Anyone else face this task, and how did you solve it??
Thanks!

I know this wont help you as I am just going off memory, but I did this last winter as my HID's wouldn't fire half the time. I increased the size of the tiny stock OE purple wire to some 14 gauge and ran straight to the ballast boxes. I remember it being very tight, but if you remove your battery lead it may give you some more wiggle room in being able to see the underside of the box a bit more.

CJW (I'm CJG). I'm afraid you lost me a bit here. I have scotch locks, but I'm concerned about how good of a connection it would make. But you refer to a relay twice? Is one of them #39 in the fuse box??
