Here's my dilema: My car has remote control equipped foglights, well I lost the remote so I decided to try to hook them up to a switch that I could mount in the car instead. So I cut the wire going from the inline relay/fuses to the "remote control unit" under the hood. Now I have 3 wires. A green, a red, and a black. I hooked some extra wire up to them and ran them through the grommet, to a switch inside the car. Now for some reason it just doesnt work! I have tried every possible combination with the wires on the back of switch, checked the fuses...everything I can think of!! It seems like they are not getting power. Do you know what I'm doing wrong or of any easy was to hardwire them into the parking lamps?

Sounds to me like you cut the main + supply line,ground and ingition on refrence wire for the control module. Those will not turn your lights on whet you need to do is take those wires back outside the firewall,hook them back up from where they came from and look for the wires (trace them back from the lights themselves of just take some long wire and run it from behind the lights themselsves to inside the car) from the foglights and use those to run the lights altho i don't recommend this because it may possibly cause damage to the remote control unit.

you have to run a new power line to the head lights as there is a relay on the box you had that only turns on the relay with the remote.

You flipping a switch does not matter as it is looking for the remote to turn on the juice.

Ok thanks, just one question, how the heck do I run a new power line to the headlights? Should I just bring it to a stereo shop or will they charge me a wicked lot to do it? Thanks again for the help.
