Group Buy: HID kits + LED bulbs (retrofitsource) 26% off. Deadline: 11/23/15

You'll just log in to your account and it will be right there once logged in. Should ship out today.

 

I would also like to know if there is any feedback or tips in regards to installing the fogs.

 

Perfect! It's there now. Thanks for checking on it for me.

 

@TRSAndrew any install instructions for the load resisters with the turn bulb?

 

Use a stubby screwdriver and just reach down into the engine bay. There's just 1 screw on each.

Remove the bezels around them and you can take them out and out them in from the front.

Also, temporarily moving the windshield washer fluid reservoir helps a lot on the passenger side for the headlights and fogs.

 

Perfect, thank you! so the front bezel just pops off right??

 

Yeah, just press the tabs in on the clips once it's pulled out a little and it pops right out

 

Was able to get the bezel off but can't get to the screw that holds the fog in. How did you go about this?

 

Dave,

I reached down from the top and with one hand held the fog light and the only just barely threaded the screw in to hold it. I then used the stubby screwdriver to screw it tight

 

Thanks for the help. Was hoping to hear pulling back the wheel well was an option. Tried myself with no luck. Through some digging was able to see that going at it with a stubby is the way people in the thread for these lights are doing it. It was getting dark, me getting frustrated, and cold. Will have to give it another run during the day. Either tomorrow or on turkey day. Was thinking that the fogs would be easier than the HIDs, I guess not.

 

someone should take pics/vids of what to go at with the fogs...

My truck is STILL not here, and I am getting ancy not being able to see first hand what needs done....

 

I removed the windshield washer fluid reservoir by removing the two 10mm bolts. Then lifted slightly and disconnected the reservoir motor plug and rubber supply line. (Be ready to cover it with your finger and dump the contents into a clean bucket).
One that was removed the passenger's side install was very easy.

 

I removed the two bolts for the washer fluid tank but did not have to completely remove the tank. Was able to slide it up and out of the way enough to gain access to the fog light.

 

Is everyone still using their original headlight bulb grommet during installation or using retro fits?

 

Something I forgot to ask if anyone knew...

What are the two extra plugs for (they come out of the rubber piece with the plug for the bulbs... it's a plug on one end and two bare wires on the other end)?

 

They go inside the plugs provided and then plug into the oem harness. I stuck the bare plugs into the oem plug to test them first to figure out which wire was which.

From the fog light the red went to the colored wire (right side if looking at front of car) (blue I believe) and the black went to the left (white with black stripe if I remember correctly).

Just make sure you have the provided plug oriented correctly. Notice it has a small raised notch on one side. It should face up.

 

The point of the relay harness is to isolate the factory wiring from the higher amperage draw of the HIDs. Factory wiring, sucks. It's thinly gauged and is bare minimum basically. All about the $$$.

The plug that plugs into the factory plug is ONLY to switch the relay on and off. VERY little power draw on these wires. Running a hot wire into the relays from the battery brings in a healthy amount of power and doesn't stress factory wiring.

The relay is basically a switch for a railroad... You are taking a lot of power (from the battery) and sending it to the HIDs by using the factory power supplies to ONLY operate the switch (Relay)

I hope that makes sense?

 

I edited my initial post cause I thought @UberDingu was asking about HIDs but I believe he meant the fogs.

I also seem to realize after removing both bezels and installing the fogs that I don't think it is necessary to remove the bezels. The one screw from the back side makes the fog housing come out. Just might have to fenagle it out of the engine bay.

 

No, I meant the HIDs. Sorry for not being clear. The wiring harness has a plug for the oem harness which controls the HIDs. There was also a plug that I described with each section of the wiring that plugged into the actual HID bulb. I'll take a picture later as its hard to explain

 

There was one of these through the little rubber piece that the bulb plug went through on each side. No clue what it's for as I used all plugs on the Morimoto harness
