that looks whiter than 2500K ... but i like them a lot (ive been thinking about adding some)

2500K should be yellow, those look almost as white as your headlights

BigB..I bid and bought a set of Alero lights for $40 on ebay and they have the blub, socket and pig tail included. I would like to do a pro install and was wondering if you had the part # for an OEM switch? I have two places on either side of my hand brake that looks like a place to insert a switch. There is also a couple places on either side of the trim around my steering column that have these places that look like they could accomodate a switch.
Any help would be great,

hmm maybe its my camera

When you look at the lights they look whitish, but the output is def. yellow. Now i just need hyper yellow in my highs!

Pacific Mall here I come. (For you americans its a huge asian Mall for everything Asian!)

 

my are like that too.. they look like original bulb that came with the car.. lol

hahahah.. pacific mall.. if you folks havent been there, go check it out.. especially the parking lot... :lol::lol:

 

But BigBird, Everyone has that lol!

I couldnt find any at the wreckers, well in good shape anyway. and nearly 70-100 bucks on ebay for new. This lights were 25 bucks shippped!

 

I've been thinking about installing fogs myself... But not knowing how I'd do the on-off switch is whats keeping me. How did you do it?

 

Ahahaha

I wired them directly to the tail lights.

I tried to snake the wire through the firewall but my fat hands failed me once again!

maybe when i have more time i'll do it, plus i have a "ADD A CIRCUIT" from your local autoparts store--> will allow you to splice into a fuse.

 

most are simple as pie. ground each foglight and the switch, wire straight from the battery using the fuse that 90% of the kits come with to the switch then run the wires to the lights from the other treminal on the switch and....vwalla:thumbup:.

 

Alereo fogs ftw!

 

Cambot, the fog lights look great to me. Good job.

Uibalnme..your corner lamps...are blue? Looks freaking amazing.

 

CamBOT, foglights look good.

 

Looks great! and love where you've put them. Biggest thing is ones that aren't too big or they won't fit. Haven't seen alero ones around but will have to start looking.

Not good to wire them direct to anything. You need to run them through a fused relay as it's unsafe to do so otherwise. If you have a lighted switch it'll definitely burn the light out in it and can get pretty hot. [did the lights not come with a relay/fuse/wireing?] If you need a hand let me know.

Usually you wire them either directly to the battery and run them independently, or tie the power to trigger them on through your front parking lights. You don't want to blow your tailight fuse or such when you're driving at night for sure!

 

looks good man, i would definately would liek to know how you wired your fogs because i gotta redo mine...

 

cykaaro:

I have an inline fuse and everything. When i said I wired them directly, I am splicing into the tail/parking light circuit. I disabled my DRLS so the lights will be on only when I want them to. Plus i like having them on all the time
I should wire in a switch but i failed at snaking the wire though the firewall.

As for the sizes: the tallest you can stick in there is 2.5 in. and you have about 4-6 inch width. The ones i got are 2.5 in by 3.5 in.

If ya'll want I can pull up the seller from Ebay.

Thanks everyone

 

Looking good CamBOT.... We have the same colour car!!!

 

Fuse of course, but are they just directly wired with just a fuse? or are you using a relay? There is a big difference between how the two work.

This is basically how it should be wired. Basically the lights take more draw then the simple switch does which is the trigger. The switch isn't designed for that kinda of draw, as well as tapping a power source already used elsewhere means more of a burden on that specific system, hence why the main power should come direct from the battery. You could eliminate the switch to have power to them all the time, but still, the power comes from the relay, not what triggers the relay.

$20.00 Walmart Lights!

wooo!

 

Umm, placing the fog lights in the holes like that, would it have some negative gain on my CAI...

 

Haha true..

You'll be losing all the questionable power gained by the CAI.

 

I said questionable...as in none...lol

Nah you get some throttle response and sounds deeper. Thats why I have an SRI. Sounds awesome!

 

Nah, just paint a 'make it go faster' stripe. It'll gain you a lot more horsepower.
