"Fog Light" wiring

[uncle_asa]

Yes, Asa is right,, On the pretense that the light did not come with a relay. Only use a relay, the switch will not handle the load of the lights directly..

I actually missed that he has separate switch for the fog lights, so I deleted my post

Ok, Asa, be that way Still a relay disclaimer nerver hurts!

mark, here is an Electrical TS Manual. http://www.vehicross.info/modules.ph...viewfile&id=19

Check page 110 (Manual) or 131 (Adobe page) and you will see the diagram for the front lights.. The hot is the one with the Green/Red and the black is ground.

Another thing to do, once you already there, is to cut wires from the headlights and run them though relays, getting power from the "+" wire and attaching ground wire somewhere under the hood - it will make your dimmer to live longer and lights shine brighter. This is due to the Isuzu run ground wire via dimmer switch, so some power is lost on the long wire to the steering wheel then to the ground, and each time you use dimmer it connects high amperes...

Thanks for all of the advice and information. Moncha, thanks for all of the links, you're a well spring of knowledge as always.

The lights did come with a relay, and that has been what has taken some time. I didn't want to mount the relay under the hood where it would be subject to water, dust, and heat and I didn't want to run wires across the engine bay to the drivers side where the switch is (the power is being drawn from Moncha's auxillary fuse box on the passenger side). I've been struggling to mount the relay behind the kick panel on the passenger side and have the wires run out of the rubber boot where half of the cars wires currently exit the firewall. The blower for the A/C unit is in the way so I've had to do some creative contorsions to get up to the boot and feed the new wires through. The wire to the switch will then run behind the dash over to the drivers side. Hopefully this will result in a very clean installation with very little wiring showing.

Hopefully I'll be able to get it done tonight.

LET THERE BE LIGHT.
