    Kenny,

    Thanks for the advice. I have a voltage meter, but the battery is disconnected right now so I can do Moncha's auxillary fuse box mod. I think everything is connected correctly right now, so I can hook the batter back up for a little bit to test the wires.

    As you can tell, I'm not terribly savy at car wiring, so any help I can get is much appreciated. I had thought about wiring the LED rings to a separate switch, but I think I'm just going to hook them up so they come on with the running lights. I have the fog lights, themselves, hooked up to a factory swith in the dash, so I'm good there.

    My biggest problem right now is not wanting to cut the cladding. I had some weird thought that I might want to reinstall the factory running lights at some point in time so I was trying not to butcher the mounts for them. With that lip in the cladding in place it seems to push the angel eyes out too far, so I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and cut the cladding so I can get the fog lights to recess nicely into the cladding. I will still need to get some sort of gasket to put around the lights to make them fit snuggly. Does anyone know where you can get some of that "v" shaped door/ window gasket? I think others have used it to replace the gasket around the headlights.

    Thanks all. I'll post some pics when I'm done.

    Mark,

    I used rubber fuel line sliced down the middle for the 'v' gasket... I went to checker auto and just asked to see their available rubber hoses by the foot.

    I'm with Bill, I tried all kinds of stuff to make a trim gasket, the fuel line trick worked a treat!

    About half way down this thread if you have not seen it.
