Default fog lights install directions?

I purchased a set of ek fog lights to install in the air ducts on my ap1. Cutting the bumper to get them to fit isn't the hard part.

I was just wondering if you guys could help me out, by pointing me in the right direction as to where i could find a write up on how to wire these?

I already tried searching but came up empty handed. I appreciate your time guys

Also if you guys could let me know where you installed yoru switch to turn them on or off.

DIY for the cutting and such

EK foglight install PDF (it's not on the s2000, but since you're doing it yourself, I'm hoping you have some knowledge and can work with this for the wiring.)

Pros:
- great power
- relatively easy to install (as long as you have all the tools needed)
- simple and straight to the point type setup

Cons:
- (if you wanted to go with a huge turbo) you're limited
- the kit is not complete, there's stuff you do need to buy on the side, but that's the same with all other kits.
- the downpipe doesn't have a flange at the end to connect to the exhaust, so you have to get that done separately. (I drove my car to Inline with open downpipe, thing was the loudest thing I've ever heard. I couldn't hear by the time I got there)

But overall, no real complaints.

There's a link above that I posted that goes to a thread on a DIY for the fog lights. Only the cutting no wiring though.

Okay.... I ran into a little problem. I have a The AEM v2 cold air on my car and thought about the fact and am pretty sure that the passenger side fog light will not fit, because the filter gets in the way. (thank god I havent cut anything yet)


My question is though, has anybody gotten around this? I read on the post above that one individual moved their intake a little bit and got it to fit. But wouldn't it just bounce around since there is no place the intake is mounted then?


Im still trying to figure this out but if anybody has any insight other than "take it off" lol. I would greatly appreciate it.

Maybe Ill just cut the intake and have the it welded back shorter?

Thanks again gentelmen.

I was thinking of maybe something like the middle one here. Or maybe the one all the way to the left, where it bends and pushes the actual filter away.

Not when you're not tuned, and you're backfiring like there's no tomorrow, and when you look back all you see is a stream of black smoke. lol. Seriously it was shaking like I was in a funny car. My basemap was poop.

A what? Another 5 lbs max? It's like riding around with a 12-pack of all the time, even then I don't think the fogs weigh that much.

I drove around with an open header for a few mins when i put my test pipe on. I looked at my friend in the passenger seat, could see his mouth moving, just couldn't hear any words. and it shook like when you get on the warning track on the side of the interstate. sounded awesome when i was full throttle.
