Hi all,

Anyone ever installed foglight made by ESUSE before? I tried following the below guides:-

And I stumbled upon some probs...

The switch harness needs to be modified to function with the stock wiring. For the next step we have to cut out the red wire from relay connector. Clip the red wire close connector and pull it out:

I don’t know the “right” way to remove the white plastic connector. I just use a pair of diagonal cutters to snip off pieces until it fell off. When everything is said and done it should look like this:

Cut off the slack from the harness and use a butt splice to attach the new connector. Slide the metal end into either pin1 or pin2 of the connector shown below:

first of all, I am not sure if the Author uses the red wiring connection for the internal wirings as I assumed by the looks of his guide, he actually cut off the internal reds wiring and to be transfered to the boot's fuse box? So meaning, the internal red wiring, you don't have to bother connecting to any power source? Can anyone verified this for me?

secondly...

Can anyone point me where to put the fuse in the internal fuse box? I tried looking for the fuse box but it seems, there are some differences of the fuse box from USA and Oz version...as some method of unscrewing the hinged panel below steering wheel is totally different!

Attach the green wire (closest to the black wire) that we cut out earlier from the fog switch harness to the green wire in the factory harness:

Last but not least, refering to the image above, does that practically means I have to cut out the green wire and reattached using clips as such from the switch wires?

If anyone have better alternative connection choice, please do tell! I am really confused on these few issues. Thanks...:iono:
