I'd be glad to go to the garage, take the cover off the car and see where I spliced into the wire..............but I need to head to the gym in a few minutes. If no one comes up with the location, I'll do it when I get back :seeya

Re: PIAA 1100x installation question (night feeder)
did your car come with factory fogs?ifnot,your car may not have the proper wiring.when you go to the fuseblock under the hood[where the relay is]i'm pretty sure it's fuse #6 that should have the purple wire to the switch.pop up the box and look[there are other purple wires there,but they are not the right ones. the relay[#39],should have a purple wire that goes from the relay to the fuse,from the fuse to the switch.

yes it came with foglights... i unclipped the fuse box and took off the one bolt but i could only lift the fuse box probably about half an inch to see the wires, is there anyway i can lift it up anymore :confused:

It"s tight. I kind of angled mine & was able to get to the wire.

Re: PIAA 1100x installation question (ALLKAR)
Mine are aimed about 10 feet or so in front of the vette, and they are really bright :eek: I don't really know if the alignment is that critical, unless you really have them pointed up. I just used my stock fog lamp brackets and went with that.
