AE92 Driving Lights & Headlight Question.








As the pictures imply, How the hell do I get those lights to work? I mean I have wires dangling every where and I have no clue where they go. And also, wtf is that 2nd bulb in my headlights for? There are 2 wires coming out of them that go no where.

lights.....

My 2-cents:

Your fog lights needs to be hook up
(red wire) hook up to battery
(black wire) hook up to ground
The red wire should be hook up with an button to turn on/off the fog lights

The weird blue lights that are in your head lights are hyper flash (police lights)
You can hook them up like your fog lights or use fuse tap and connect them too your signal lights...so when you signal they blink....

The long lights.....are they even lights or are they just reflectors!!

I have a toggle switch , but I am kinda retarded about hooking up the fog lights to it. Just the one red wire to the switch? Thats it?

The switch as 2 hookups so I am a little confused.

i have the same car, i had those headlights...

you can hook the little blue lights up on a toggle... to make your headlights look a ugly blue green colour... which i did, then removed for reasons i think you could figure out after you see it. and as for the lights, i think you would have to hook all the lights up to the relay that flicks on your headlights, because they come on, on mine when i have the headlights off... and every other turn on the controller... i dunno. i would like to hook the fogs up with the headlights tho.

For your fog lights make sure you connect them to a relay inline with your headlight switch.

If you are unsure how to connect a toggle switch - i would reccomend getting someone to do it otherwise if you get it wrong you could short your battery or even start a fire!

I have a toggle switch, what i was gonna do was. Run the power lines from the fog lights to the ACC connection on the switch, then run a power cable from the switch to the battery. Then run a ground cable to the chassis to complete the circuit.

I believe that should work. What do you think?

I somewhat tested the switch out to make sure it shuts off the lights and turns them on, and it did.

Well - sort of. if i were you i would at least put a fuse in line with the switch too. The way you want to do it will work but you will have to remember to turn it off every time you turn it on and you will have no protection from short curcuits or surging...
