[jtran1993]

hi, this is a question to anyone good with switches and wiring.
everyone that has the fogs kno about the boring press down swtich for on/off.

i had spotted a civic at my local car meet with this certain swtich for their fogs

and wondering if anyone knos how to set the wiring up?

your link doesnt work

 

[jtran1993]

sorry about that! it shold work now

 

[DMaldonado93]

well im not 100% sure which terminals are for which but the three are your led power, accessory power, and then a ground. u just have to find the ground and power locations from your fog lights and wire them to the two terminals then u just have to wire a 12v source to the led terminal (im assuming it is 12v u should always make sure) and then it should work fine

 

[jtran1993]

ohh alright i seen. wat i was thinking of myself is just connecting the wires to the terminals.
i just need to kno which is which.

it is necessary to connect the LED power? i dont really mind not having an LED light on and all.
it would still work without it?

 

[DMaldonado93]

yeah it should work fine but i wouldnt order it from there

good call on avoiding dealxtreme

Y do u say that? is that a bad website to order from? just curious for any future purchases?

 

[anfrey]

yeah, horrible customer service, usually has part mixups where you don't get what you ordered, and most of the stuff there is pretty crappy quality.

[DMaldonado93]

oh now i know not to order from there anytime soon. they seem overpriced too

 

[anfrey]

yeah, the ~$30 i've spent at dealxtreme have all been absolute wastes of time and money.
