My documentation shows pictures of the locations.


If you are thinking of having them come on with your parking lights, then you will want to modify the harness per the Micro Image DIY. The way that the included harness is designed, you would connect the kit to ground and battery power (or to have it ignition switched you would use an extra relay connected to the ignition switched power wire per my DIY and would switch the battery power using that second relay).

Thank you! The way I wired it this afternoon was:
-I connected the foglight power wire (white with brown clip) to the constant 12V source
-I connected the switch illumination wire (red with white clip) to the parking lights.

This configuration worked fine temporarily; the switch illuminated when the parking lights were on and the fog lights turned on when the switch was activated.

However, when I put the plastic casings back into place, the parking lights had issues. They will not turn on, which in turn doesn't illuminate/power the switch, so the fog lights won't activate.

Any thoughts? Does grounding at different grounding points affect anything? I checked the fuse, and it was still good. It seems like there may be an issue with the grounding or my tap splice with the parking lights...

Thanks, you've been a big help! I greatly appreciate your patience with this!
