Fog light wiring harness help

i just recived my oem style fog light kit from robear racing, i'm getting ready to wire them up. I looked at the directions and it says that i have to install a 4 pin and a 1 pin connectors into the fues box well on the harness i have i have two 1 pin connectores, and the fues box has room for one 1 pin connector. One of the 1 pin's is for the power to the fog light's and the other goes to the fuse. so what do i do with thw 1 pin connector to the fuse where does it go. Any one else buy fog's from robearracing, did you have this problem ?

Does it plug into something in the stearing colum like where your light switch is? Did it come with instructions?

the instruction's that came with the fog's say's that you plug a 1 pin into the car's fuse box and i did that, then you plug a 4 pin into the car's fuse box well theirs no 4 pin on the wiring harness and theirs isn't a 4 pin in the fuse box. So i ether gotta find the right conector or maby i can cut that conector off and wire it to the other wire that powers the fog's. Robear racing told me that these fogs are mad for the JDM spec wirering and for some reason some kit's require a different connector, he says radio shack has it.

i had the same problem with my fogs from robear. luckily i aqcuired another harness that worked. what you can do is take apart that connector and hardwire it to the 4th pin. do not connect 3rd+4th pin otherwise they'll always be on and your cluster will be dim even in the day time.

well the harness i got is the correct one. take the short red wire you have and connect it to the 4pin connection shown as "2" in the pic i've posted. you need to connect it to the 4th pin to the right.

I'm having a similar problem, with some differences.
I have 3 harnesses, and all the DIYs only show 2.
Most of the connectors are seem wrong also.
The factory install guide shows factory style connectors, including one from the R indicator lamp, my harnesses don't have any of those.
A little help?

Youre suppose to have 3 harnesses. One for the fog lights, one for under the hood (goes through the firewall), and one for the interior. All should ultimately be connected together. I did not follow the factory install guide because everything is different and it just confused me more. If you can take pics of the harnesses, I'll be glad to walk you through it.

Got 'em.
PM me your email address, and I'll send them there?
I understand what you're describing, one has a grommet for the firewall, and one obviously mounts to the lights themselves. I'm assuming the other is for the interior...
Thanks in advance for the help.
