I bought the jdm yellow foglights and installed them to my parking lights and they worked fine for a year and now the amps are to high and the fuse keeps blowing.

SO i bought the jdm switch and a 4 pin 40 amp relay. My question is does anyone have a wiring diagram? and do I need a fuse runing to the battery? If not any suggestions to wire them up need help cause im selling the car and i dont have the oem harness or the connectors?
Thanks rob

bump anyone?

 

Can you be more specific on what parts you have? If you have just the switch and the relay it will be really difficult to wire. I hope you bought the wiring harness too.

 

try to search it's not that difficult.

not sure about 5thgen but for 4th gen.

you plug the fog lights into the connectors that are already there (preludes already come with the wiring from the factory weather they have fog lights or not)

then there will be a relay to plug in which is underneath where the steering wheel is.

then you plug the switch in (if you have the jdm switch you may need to rewire it), depending on what year you have the plug for the relay will be in a different location.

now if you have a 5th gen search and if you need more info regarding exact location of the plugs search this has been covered over and over and over.

not mine cause i did the el gauge conversion so i dont have either the console harness nor the dash harness

So I have the jdm switch no harness and a 4 pin relay?

 

?

 

is it safe to just run the fogs with the parking lights on a 30 amp fuse instead of 20 amp
it works with the 30 but not the 20

 

I would just but a set of ghetto fog lamps from your local auto store, they uausally come with a wiring harness, switch and relay included.

Then you could use the wiring harness realy and switch that came with the cheap foglamp set and hook it up to the JDM fogs you already have.

As far just upping the fuse on the parking lamps, it may work I personally would not do it in my car. The stock wiring my not be able to handle the extra amperage.

 

ABSOLUTELY NOT

don't stick bigger fuses in than the slot specifies. Those amp ratings are there for a reason. Those wires aren't able to carry 30 amps safely. Good way to turn your lude into a roadside bonfire.

 

and there is usually a diagram on most relays.
