Fog Light Install
All,
Can anyone who has installed aftermarket fogs please describe their installation process?
I want to install a pair of PIAA 520 85w fog lights and would like to have them operate in conjunction with the factory fog lights - go on and off via the factory fog light switch and go off when the high beams are on.
So actually two questions here:
1. What is the electrical install process (the whole can bus thing throws me off a bit)? Is there an aftermarket plug that is avail that's compatible with the can bus system? Do you use a relay and get the power straight from the battery, etc?
2. Mounting configurations - has anyone found a really solid place to mount their lights? The plastic panel forward of the grill is a little too flexible (in my opinion) to mount the lights to but way out to the edge of the bumper looks a little weird to me. Has someone found a good solution for this.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
