Aftermarket foglight installation

[daytonav691]

Alright, bought a pair of foglights to install in the car. To my knowledge, the entire circuit is there within the car (correct me if I'm wrong). I have the fog light relay in the vehicle, and the foglight switch on the squirrel's nest.

When I have the lights on and turn on the foglight switch the light illuminates in my cluster. The question is, I can only find one open plug underneath the front fender. Would I be able to fabricate a harness post plug and adapt it to plug into said plug and use the current system, or would I be better off using the entire installation kit. The goal is to make it appear factory even though it isn't.

Any help / suggestions / diagrams / etc are very greatly appreciated

If the factory wiring is complete underhood there should be a connector on each side.
Does the connector you found plug into your aftermarket fog lamps?
Please do not cut off any factory connectors, just splice into the existing harness.
Do you need the factory wiring diagram?
Just out of curiosity if I have never asked where in N.J. are you located?

I did find the connector on the one side of the vehicle, the other side is a whole nother mystery lol.

I planned on splicing the aftermarket harness into a factory plug, and then connecting it to the vehicle. In the process of locating the plugs that go onto the fog light itself. I have a set from a 92 era fog light but they don't match up

Factory diagram would be a bonus, but specifically I am trying to locate the passenger-side plug. Once I have that found out I can move forward with my plan.

Located in Mount Laurel, about 5 minutes away from where you work at Lenihan actually

Additionally, the prospect of drilling 1/2" holes into the bumper to mount said lights: Good idea or bad idea? lol (steel portion, not the front fascia. Although you probably knew that Naj)

foglights....those things better be placed right or they look like shit! lol, jk...my town has lots of guys who like to put them on anyplace they can fit them....

Interested and seeing some pics though....

Once I get it squared away I'll definitely post some. The ones I bought are about the same size as the stock ones, and since I don't have the body kit front fascia I was going to put them in the holes right next to the turn signals. If it looks un-factory in my mind I scrap the idea straight off. I refuse to make it look anything short of flawless

Still in it's fabrication phases though. My brother owes me for installing his system, so I'll at least have a 1/2" drill bit tomorrow to tackle the bumper

OK, so I did talk to you, so many posts and PM's I sometimes forget people's user id if they are not on often.
I am guessing you do not have the cutouts in the fascia for the fog lamps.
They are actually screwed to a mounting bracket behind the fascia and there is a hole in the front crossmember for the harness to come thru.
The connectors are above the crossmember.
