HID fogs? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #47882 18 posts Started by Vissi
Would using some hid in some projector foglights be feasable?
I want some more lighting but i dont want to spend 700$ on some projectors, and dont realy want to blind incoming traffic.

I think it would be bright enough, but idk if anyone has done it.
I figured with this group buy there doing this is a good time to ask.
Also what fogs would work well?

just wondering, i just put in my own fogs but the instructions only show you how to install them to the battery. sometimes i would end up leaving them on when i shut my car off >< so i was just wondering how i would be able to connect them to the headlight switch, so that they turn on/off when i turn the headlights on/off. (looked for the right wires but dont really know which it is)
When I did mine, I tapped off the the ignition wire from my radio and ran it to a relay so I couldnt leave them on by mistake

ok, tap into one of the wires right there by your drivers side low beam, use some scotch locks if your lazy, then hook them up to the relay and then to your switch inside, that way your are kinda "legal" for having your fogs work in conjunction with your low beams as most laws state, plus they turn off with your car, the radio wire hes talking about is the red one that goes to your radio

yellow - always on
red - on only when the key is
black - ground

all others are for speakers, remotes, antennas, etc

if you want to be able to drive around with JUST your fog lights go to the radio, otherwise go to the parking lights to have them be able to come on when they are on or the low beams or whatever. unless your hooking up an amp, its usually a good idead to not hook stuff up to the battery cuz you can easily leave them on wink.gif

hope that helps, i can get you a diagram or two of how to wire everything if you need some help

you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!(2:27:32 AM) edit: please f*cking work, f*ck, sh*t, piss(2:28:08 AM) edit: that did the trick

jason pretty much nailed it... if you reeaaally want I can take a pic of my wiring but you'll have to wait a day or 2. it would just be the wires mentioned (its almost impossible to mix it up to be honest)

okay, just tried to wire, and found the headlight wires. theres the red and black, and im assuming its the red one i gotta tap to, but, its going right to the bulb. so i started thinking, that if i tapped there, wouldnt it make that bulb dimmer? or would it really matter?

if your concerned, tap off of the battery to a relay - have the hot line from the headlight activate the relay so the load comes directly from the battery instead

just got my HID lows today and they look nice(size 9006 8000K bluish-white).. im thinking the same thing, i have 2 sets of JDM fog lights and i have already talked to my friends fom vegas speed on buying the H3 HIDs..but i wasnt really sure on which HID temp i need.. but i guess 3000K would be the right choice as someone has already done it..
