I have a 94 Firebird and want to hook up the foglights (they were hooked up via headlights before I fixed those). Anyways, I would like to hook them up to the parking light system so when the parking lights are on the foglights are on too. This would be nice so I don't always have to have the main headlights on. It would be nice to have them stay on when the headlights come on too. I looked in my haynes manual at the wiring but I'm no wiring genius.

The foglights only have positive & negative wires from each one.

I was thinking of splicing each one into the front parking light but thought maybe it would make the foglights blink with the blinker too. Would splicing them into them or something else cause an overload?

Any thoughts please? Thanks!

 

Anyone?

 

The fog lights DO run with the parking lights? When the exterior light switch is in the middle position the fog lights will run.

So if I'm not understanding the reason, then the only want to NOT overload a circuit is to run power wire directly from the fuse box to a relay. Then one side of the relay goes to the fog lights, and the relay activation switch is then spliced to the parking lights as you say. There are three wires for the parking lights, as one stays on while the other flashes. In the same bulb. So find the wire that doesn't flash.

 

Previous setup:
- Foglights were hooked up in place of the headlights using same stock wiring. Headlights inoperable.

Current:
- Headlights now hooked up via stock wiring. Foglights inoperable. No existing wiring for fog lights besides two ~24" pos/neg wires from each foglight.

Wanted:
- Fog lights hooked up.
- Was thinking:
a. Splice each directly into the front parking lights near the bulbs. Don't know if it would work or not... blink, overload, etc?
b. Do more work and get wiring for splicing them into the parking lights near the actual headlight switch. Also, I do not have the separate interior foglight switch to hook into on a separate system.
c. Any other ideas?

I'd also like to note that even though I'm not cheap... the foglights don't have to be hooked up "properly" or look perfect. I would like to go the easiest route with this since I'm very busy this spring. I did a fog light install a year ago on my formula with some ff75's but the wiring setup is different in that the ff75's are on their own individual system.

Wiring help/advice/ideas???

 

I have ran foglights off of my parking lights on older vehicles before and it worked for me. i havent done it on my camaro but if i were going to i would go with the correct way as camaros can be touchy about electrical stuff. that is by adding a relay and geting the main power from my battery and using the parking lights to activate it.
