I ordered mine from "symmic" they came in a week or so. The wire harness that goes into the car was a mess and the switch sucks. Will take some adjustment.

Well, I got my fogs installed in the bumper. The wiring is a different story though. The harnesses themselves were confusing, but when I connected everything it didnt work. Now there 2 connector plugs not connected to anything and it didnt make any sense as to where to connect them. So, now im stuck as to where I can tap into an Acc power source.

Hey gearbox, how did u get urs wired in?

The kit came with 3 harnesses: 1 exterior, 1 half exterior/half interior, and 1 interior harness. It also came with the switch which seems to work fine in terms of fitment. It also came with an inline fuse which is attached to the interior harness and a relay, which is also attached to the interior harness

Would it be possible to tap into the cigarette lighter since its right there to get an ACC power source? Only problem is...where can I get a constant 12V power source from there? I dont want to have to run a wire from the battery to the switch to get my fogs to work.

Any help is appreciated thanks :-)

I will post pics of the harness when I get the chance to. So far they're just installed. I am still working on the interior wiring because thats the part that is confusing the hell out of me.
