  • "hid" foglight question....

    I bought these foglights from autozone, and I am planning on putting them behind my billet grill, my question is, is instead of putting them on there own little cheap switch that comes with it, how could I wire it up to come on with the factory foglights switch?

      What do you specifically mean? Just, splice the wires? If thats what you mean, would having both sets of fogs possibly burn up the wire due to too much power? thanks!

          If they're too high of wattage, you could just run a relay set-up too. That's what I would do; generally HIDs don't draw alot of power, so you might be fine, but I'd run it that way just for safety.

            I doubt they are true HID if they are from AutoZone. So he may just have to do what you just described.
