    Default Help with lighting please

    Hopefully someone on THIS forum can help.

    Questions for those of you with Spyders and HID HALO fogs.. I have tried searching but is still unclear! Links are welcome..
    1) How do you wire the fogs to operate separately from the headlights? Like if you wanted to run halo on fogs only or fogs lights only? I'm planning on installing separate regular fogs to the factory switch and hid drivers in the regular fog position but would like a dedicated switch

    2) Halos on spyders used as DRL Without the parking lights..How to?

    Thanks guys!

    C'Mon fellas,
    No one willing to chime in or done this before?

    Basically I need to know how to make fogs run independently from headlights using a separate switch..(not the factory)

    Someone, knows someone who knows I'm sure!

    well if your using a separete switch all you do is run the positive wire from the lights to one prog of the switch and the other prong to the battery and ground the negative wire of the lights.

    i have the spyders and i have wired my halos wired in with my foglights, so the with the first factory position being off, parking lights are on the second position, then when the foglight switch is on the halos and foglights are on, then the headlights on the third switch position

    CTKGP Thanks for replying,I really appreciate it,
    The way you have yours wired is pretty interesting.

    The main issue I think I will have issues with will be the hid harness for the fogs if I run the wire straight to battery using separate fog toggle switch...
    Any suggestions anyone?

    drl halos, well your gonna have to reroute the wire for drl. and leave the fogs on factory switch just use the purple wire as + and black wire for -. and thats easy your making it harder than it is lol. i think im gonna go with the audi look or cts light pipes look for accent lights halos are old news imho. but i wont use the premade strips those dont look like the porsche,e class,audi to me. you need at least an inch of seperation and a 4 chip led not the small leds. oh i might be confusing people this is not silvermistchick lol its lacboi, maybe i'll make me a profile instead of signing on her logon lol
