Fog Light Install

***fiji06si13*** · 04-23-2007, 09:28 PM

Anybody have directions on how to install ACI foglight kit....
They are the ESUSE ones JDM yellow....
My real question is on the OEM install you have the Blue wire that plugs into the back of the connector and the white with red tracer that goes in next to it...
On the ACI ones you have only the White with red tracer.....why?

Ok, let me see if this is the same as mine was. If it is you have:
One relay that plugs into a little fuse box that goes no-where.
Two blue 6 pin connectors, one male, one female.
The lone wire, cant remember the colors.
One ground.
And a 2 pin connector.
I think thats all the connections. Let me know what of those you have and if you have anymore, I'll help you out.

Look at the connector on the OEM blue wire and white wire with red tracer
why is there two on oem and one on after market?

I know mine only had the red/white, The blue I think is the one that is replaced with the relay. So blue one isnt needed, still works fine. Anything else?

Yessir'

**ImTheVoiceOfGod** · 04-23-2007, 10:21 PM

If you have the two six pin connectors, on male, one female, one plugs into the little plug under the change holder, and the other does nothing. Dont try finding a use for it, I spent about an hour trying and couldnt find anything.

***fiji06si13*** · 04-23-2007, 10:28 PM

This one right....... they say some times in use and somtimes not in use.....if it is use the piggy back to T the two (female side is what factory side pluggs into...)

***fiji06si13*** · 04-23-2007, 10:28 PM

can you use the fogs any time you want anouther words by them self or even weith High beams on.....?

**ImTheVoiceOfGod** · 04-23-2007, 10:29 PM

Yeah, that one, I dont know what it would be used for.

**ImTheVoiceOfGod** · 04-23-2007, 10:29 PM

They can be on with just the park lights, lo beams or high beams, wont work with DRLs. Im sure there is a way, I just done know how.

***fiji06si13*** · 04-23-2007, 10:31 PM

where did you put the supplied relay?
the factory one has one also it's made so it can fit right onto a bracket...

**ImTheVoiceOfGod** · 04-23-2007, 10:33 PM

When you are installing that 2 pin connecter up by the steering column, theres a little hole, I just zip tied it, hold on a sec, Ill take a pic.

***fiji06si13*** · 04-23-2007, 10:35 PM

this is OEM....

**ImTheVoiceOfGod** · 04-23-2007, 10:39 PM

Hm... Maybe you have a different one, mine came with a relay that plugged into another supplied piece basically looped it.

the pix is of an oem one I was just showing you how they did it guessing you zip tied it to the same location....

***fiji06si13*** · 04-23-2007, 10:43 PM

Oh the other thing...... no wires have to be run through firewall correct?
The brown connector with blue wire and red tracer is taped up behind the washer bottle correct?

**ImTheVoiceOfGod** · 04-23-2007, 10:44 PM

Alright, heres how mine looks, I guess I was wrong, I didnt ziptie it to a metal loop, it zip tied it to the brake sensor wire(?)

***fiji06si13*** · 04-23-2007, 10:46 PM

ah so I see.....

**ImTheVoiceOfGod** · 04-23-2007, 10:46 PM

That the same one you have?
