i have mine wired to parking lights. i just have to remember to press them OFF when i get out to arm my car otherwise they flash. i think driving with just the fogs on might look weird but to each his own

Well, you could turn your fog lights off when you get out of your car. Then they won't flash when you lock and unlock your car. You could also wire them independently so they turn on and off only with the fog light switch when your car is running, regardless of your parking lights and headlights being on and off.
Read this thread:
Fogs as DRL
That sounds easy enough. But I thought on the old DIY someone did they cut the blue wire and then spiced to another wire in the harness instead of splicing it to a wire on the ignition. Also would this make a difference being that I dont DRLs?

I dont plan on driving at night with just my fogs on because yes it would look a little weird, its more just a parking lot thing or like sunset and sunrise

Rich is correct. To have your fog lights turn on with your parking lights, on the switch harness in your dash, you would splice the blue wire into the red/black wire. If you did that, you wouldn't have to connect the red/green and white/green wires in your under hood relay/fuse box. If you wanted your fog lights to turn on independent of your parking lights, but only when your car is running, you would have to connect the blue wire in the switch harness to the Ignition wire (black/yellow), Accessory wire (black/red), or 2nd Accessory wire (white/red). I haven't put a meter to the Accessory or 2nd Accessory, so I'm not sure how those act, but I do know that the Ignition wire is hot when your car is running.

Don't worry man. It looks like I will be doing a fog light install on Ben's coupe this weekend. I'll make sure to test all of the wires to let you know how it acts. Most likely, it will be hot in position I (acc) and II (run).

sounds good. I guess I'll just wire mine up to the ignition harness like I originally planned. Thanks for all the info in this thread Tim

If I drop the bumper and look behind will there be an indication on where to drill? Like so kind of puncture?

[Request]Ebay Fog's Good Sellers

So the last time I bought fogs on ebay, they came in with wrong wiring harness, brackets, and no screws (basically just the lamps....)...
i know the ebay stuff is hit and miss, so i was wondering if anyone here had purchased some ebay fogs that came with all the correct stuff, and if so, if you can give me the sellers name
Thanks,
Sam

No. That's why the instructions come with a template of where you need to cut out.

I can go back to some of the older sellers I purchased fog lights from on eBay. As far as the harness goes, I would just get an OEM harness from the dealership. I installed Ben's harness a few days ago and it was just a big guessing game since none of the wires matched the OEM wiring diagram. That made it really hard to modify.
