Re: wires on bumper assembly

Do you have fog lights?

Might have had fog lights at one point.

Yeah, that looks like it could have been a foglight harness.

Re: wires on bumper assembly

I can't be positive because I can't see the rest of the car to confirm it, but it sure looks like it should be for foglights.


Is the bumper cut out for lights?
Locate the original install instructions and follow them, see if it matches up to your wiring?



Checked a factory diagram, wire colors at both lights would be blue/red, and black.

Sucks?



The majority of SRS wiring (but not necessarily all of it) is wrapped in bright yellow plastic tubing.
