I'm putting sd fog lights on my truck but I have a few questions. Where can I tap into power for these? I want them to come on with the parking lights. And how do you mount them in the bumper?
Yup, just use a test light and figure out which wire is hot when you turn the park lights on and tap into it behind the headlights.I want them to come on when I turn the parking lights on just like the sd are. Could I splice then into the wires that are connected to the parking light sockets. If that makes sense.
So splice I into the hot side on the parking lights and run it to a switch. Then from the switch to the fog lights. And then ground the fog lights to the cold side on the parking lights?Mounting is up to you. Build a bracket to your liking. As for the SD's, their fogs have "power" to operate them when the parks are on, but they still have an "on/off" switch on the dash. They're not always on. I recommend installing one of those and just using the park light wire as the trigger for power.
Thats how i want mine to work. I'm just trying to figure out how i want to splice them in for power.Heres how mine are mounted, one of the POs did the wiring and they are on any time the running lights are on and don't go off with the high beams like most trucks
Will do sir!It you could take some pictures and document how you mount and wire the fogs. I'm thinking about adding SD fog lights now as well.
Thanks.:thumbup:
To wire the lights on with the parking lights, I would put a fused relay somewhere along the passenger side fender. I would get power (use a fuse) at the starter relay. I would the find a wire at in the area of the pass side headlight that was for the parking lights. I would do a proper splice at that point to use to trigger the relay.
So run a wire from the hot side of the starter relay with a fuse to a relay, then to the fog lights. Then connect the cold side on the parking lights to the cold side of the fog lights?
