Default Help me install Piaa Fogs??

Is there anyone local to the Philadelphia suburbs that can help me install these things? Half the work is done (fog button is in the car) just can't figure out how to do this. Obviously will pay you for your time! Hope someone can helpe out, I give up .

I do not recommend that approach since it overloads the circuit. A lot of people do it then when the fuse blows they increase the fuse size. BAD IDEA.

I worked with Forum member dork here to install PIAA fogs in his car.

Since he too wanted to use an OEM fog light switch we just eliminated the PIAA provided switch. I don't have the schematics for PIAA anymore so I don't remember, but I think we jumpered their switch.

Basically we just used the OEM foglight circuit to power the coil side of the PIAA relay so to keep the circuit under 10 amps.

Here is some info.

send me a PM with an email addy and I will send you instructions in pdf from a vendor that is no longer in business

these instructions only use the factory fog wiring as a trigger for the relay, just as dadaroo said

that is how I installed mine
