Hey, can anyone tell me how to wire up some fog lights thru an LED switch? I was going to install some in my Integra and I am new to wiring up stuff so can help me out so I can pretty much know what to do in the future?

 

Is the LED supposed to light up when the fog lights are turned on or when the dash lights are turned on? How many electrical terminations do you have on the switch?

 

Same questions^^^^
Can you post a pix of the switch?

As for the rest of it, the fog lights should be grounded to the chassis, the pos.(+) leads should be run to the batt. location, a relay needs to be installed close to the batt, and a fused line from the batt. pos.(+) terminal connected to it, [#30 terminal of relay] connect the fog light pos.(+) leads to #87 terminal of relay, ground to chassis #85 terminal of relay, connect the output of switch to #86 terminal of relay, the input of switch should come from the park light free pin on the under dash fuse box, [that way you can't forget them on].

If the switch has 3 terminals one is an input one is a ground for the LED, and the 3rd one is the output, there should be a diagram on the side of the switch 94

 

A few questions:

What kind of foglights are you trying to install?

Are said foglights OEM/OEM style/Universal?

Like what fcm/drespect asked, what kind of switch are you using?

Are you doing the wiring from scratch? If so, I think it'll be cheaper to buy a universal foglight harness. I've seen them go for $4.99-$7.99 w/o relays, or $11.99-$21.99 with a relay.

Below is a universal foglight harness by APC, cost $10.88 from Wal-Mart.



Below is the wiring diagram. Keep in mind that pre-wired universal harnesses are slightly different from each other, depending on what brand you get.


*edit*
something I didn't mention is the type of tool you'll need to make your wiring job easier. I use a wire stripper/crimper, similar to the one pictured below.

This makes stripping the insulation off a wire very easy. You can also cut wires easily, and easily crimp two wire ends together when using a crimp connector.

Some different types of connectors:

The green wire has a female spade connector, which connects to a male spade connector (male connector slides into the female connector). The red and yellow wire in the picture are connected via a crimp connector aka butt connector. One end of the wire is placed in one end of the butt connector. The crimping tool crimps the end of the butt connector so that the wire is secured. Then the other end of another wire will be crimped into the other end of the butt connector. Those two wires are now connected.

Another way to connect wire ends together is to use a soldering iron. Two ends of wires are connected together by the soldering iron.

Those two ends, although now connected, are still conducive so after 2 wires are soldered together, they should be covered with another necessity, the electrical tape. This will prevent the exposed wire from coming into contact with metal or another exposed wire.

Hope this helped.

i think you meant heat shrink, not electrical tape
