Need help just let me know. PS: buy a wiring harness and relay that matches from say HELLA or something like that - there is far less to worry about then.

I know I'm late to the thread but here goes... I'm running (4) 100W aircraft landing lights for fog lamps and love 'em!

Fog Lamps

As for wiring...



Then I'm running (2) more 100W bulbs on my rear axle for back up lights...

Backup Lights

As for wiring them...


Well there is my lighting in a nut shell but it works awesome either forward or backwards!

This man needs an award! Hey, what is the symbol mean in the rev. lamps with the circle and the 2 solid rectangles and then opposite next to it?

Also, what is your reasoning for the trailer relay on the front system?

Thanks.

The circle symbol is a male / female plug. Like for the plug on the reverse switch on the transmission (manual).

The trailer relay comes on with the parking lamps so it made a excellent tap for switching the fog lamps on and off. This whole fog lamp design I DID NOT splice a single wire!

Here is the trailer relay and fog lamp relay hookup.


Trailer relay removed...


The two relays that control the fog lamps.

Default fuse tap

Don't mean to hijack the post but--Do you know where I can find a fuse tap that I can use for my guage wire instead of just putting the bare wire under the fuse.

So simple... If you installed a aftermarket stereo you might of used a wiring adapter. Well in the adapter there should be a pigtail for the dash lighting for your stereo. I tapped that line and ran back to my gauges. Now I've got dimmered light too...

I am using the wire for my dash light s on my guage lights on my "A" pillar but didn't get any pigtail or anything so i thought a fuse tap would be a clean way to do it
