Thanks.

the fog lights you can either wire to a switch of have them come on when your headlights come on

and the sidemarkers jsut splice into your blinker wires

Taken from: http://www.efsource.net/tech/EF8FrontUSBumpSpt.php

So step by step:
A. Cut off old connectors
B. Splice all 3 black wires together
c. Splice red/green wire on harness to red/blue wire on headlight
D. Splice red/orange wire on harness to red/white wire on headlight
E. Repeat for other side.
F. Double check your work, and make sure the red wires do not touch the chassis or black wires at all bad things could happen.
G. Test them out! Make sure u have both high and low beams. (one thing to mention here is, if you used old bulbs they may be blown, mine was, the high beams on one side didnt work... So it one side works fine, and the other dosnt, switch bulbs and if the same side dosnt work its a problem with the wiring... If the other side dosnt work that used to work, its the bulb...)

As for the sidemarkers if you have a 90-91 wire them to the outermost corner lights. If you have an 88-89 you need to wire them to the bumper lights. Or be ghetto like me and slap on the frontend with 24 hours left before going back to school and wire to the corner lights anyways. Then use a relay system later for sidemarkers on all the time/blink when the turn signals go off .
