    Trying to hook up westin fog lights on my bull bar. Wired everything (light wires to positve, ground wires, etc.). There is a yellow wire that tells me to connect it to the parking lamp.
    1) Where is the parking light wire and how do i connect it without cutting wires?
    2) Is there anyway that i can eliminate this yellow parking wire and the lights still work?
    3) Is there any other place that i can connect the yellow wire to besides the parking lights?
    4) Any other suggestions?

    Thank you

    1st are you using a relay to power the foglights ? If not, i would highly recommend it. Also you should have a fuse close to the (Pos+) feed. Use the headlight circuit only to control the relay, i used a T- tap to connect my foglight relay to the driving light circuit. Find the green wire in your headlight loom and use a T-Tap.

    I believe the function of that yellow wire is to actuate the relay from the park lamps power, then you use the switch to turn on the fogs. Then if the fogs are on and you turn the park lamps off, fogs turn off.
