imo, just run off your switched power thru a switch to a relay (off battery)


or, i think i have that harness somewhere...so i might have the plug you're looking for around (cuz i did have it plugged in at a time)
my problem was that i was getting continuity on both leads to the actual bulbs, meaning there was a short in the harness....but if all yer after is the plug then just splice it in..

tricky is on a distinguished road
speedtech actually replaced my whole harness...and through out the one that came with the replicas...they charged me 10 bucks for the other harness..BUT, I had it installed there too...all they did was look through there boxes of misc foglights and took the harness...I think though if you bring that pic into radio shack and show em what you need, they'll be able to find something...

I just wierd mine so that when the headlights are on the foglights are on. If yours came with a relay you'll be able to do the same.

well i dont need a connector. got them working without it.

well i got the foglights working now. mashed the spade so that it would hold onto the prongs and success! they work. gonna wrap it with electrical tape to make it secure. now my other problem is that the connector for the switch is a different shape from my OEM 03 switch. so i'm gonna have to adapt it which shouldnt be too hard. i just have to figure out which wire goes to what. theres only 1 wire from the exterior to the interior then it splits up, 4 wires go to the relay and 5 wires go to the switch, is it safe to say those 5 wires are all the same?
can anyone help me out with the switch?
