Default 99-00 OEM Foglight problems

So I ordered the OEM replica foglights off of JHP. And started to mount them and wire them to the car. The foglights themselves mounted perfectly but nothing is wiring correctly, according to the directions. I don't think I received the right wiring harnesses, so I called JHP and they told me that they were indeed the right harnesses.
Here are some pics of the harnesses that i got:

Foglight Harness






Those of you who have these same foglights, do any of these wires and connections seem familiar? I hope i got the right ones

Thanks for any help,
-Eric

holy wow... those look so wrong

I just put in my dash wire harness today and stared at my engine bay one for a while. Those are totally different from OEM.

Mine was genuine OEM though, so maybe yours hooks up differently.

Bought mine from JHP, it looks right to me. The clear connector in the first pic goes to the switch. The brown connector goes to the under dash fuse box, ground the grounding wire and the red clear rubber part is power.

And the clear rubber red wire from under the dash connects to the clear rubber red wire on the driver side, then goes to the fog light, then follow the wire to the other foglight.

then it should then go to the relay which is the black box, then from there to the battery terminal.

I wired mine up fine, just ask me if u have problems...it took me a while until I laid eveything out but I eventually got it...good luck


*edit* You will have to crimp the rubber clear wire connector part

You connect the red wire with the round brass washer look alike thing to the Postitive side terminal. The wire should be coming from the relay.
