99-00 OEM fog light wiring question

[JohnS.]

Searched and had no luck so I'm askin for some help...

I wired up every last thing (besides the fog lights themselves, still have to cut the bumper open) but inside, there's still a brown 1 pin connector. I know it goes somewhere along the fuse box area but where?

I know there are those 5 fuse holes along the top that are shaped similarly to the one I left hanging, but the connector can't go in. It literally cannot go in. Each fuse hole on the fusebox is RIGHT next to each other and there's just no way the connector can slide in.

Is there a piece I'm missing to connect it to the connector so I can put it into the fusebox?

handaaccessories directions suck balls. Can't find where that 1 pin brown connector goes...

right here, the white wire.

Hmmm... I think something is in the way but lemme go out in the garage and check real quick.

Here's my fuse box...

Now where's it go lol.

Wannabe - I know where you're talking about but I have something in there already.

then it's next to the teal connector according to wannabe's picture

The problem is, the way the connector is shaped, it doesn't fit into that hole. It's f**ked up I know.

I boxed in red what I'm talking about. The connector I left hanging literally cannot fit into the hole because of the red boxed area. It's blocking the connector from being able to be plugged in.

Now see my problem? lol

edit - do you have AIM? PM me your sn. It'd be much easier lol

Nevermind I figured it out. The other end of the connector was taped on the back of the fuse box but way up in it so I didn't feel it when I felt around the first time.

Any way to wire them so they come on whenever I want? Like without parking/low/high on and both low and high?

The fogs aren't wired but the light on the switch came on when I turned my lowbeams on (not parking lights tho) and turned off when I flicked on high beams.

edit - well I read there is somewhere, but I chance blowing fuses/lights apparently which I really DON'T wanna do. Since they're OEM, they're fine the way they are. I was just hoping maybe they could be wired differently to come on when I want.

maybe that will help

I got it.

Question - I left the 2 front connectors that connect into the lights just hanging under the bumper. And it's raining out. Will the rain hurt them? Or is it okay just to leave em hanging in there and chill until I get the lights mounted on.

well...they will probably be fine if your not driving, but if you drive, you will probably turn on your headlights...then you will have current going through those connectors, water+current=bad

Good piont. I'll put small plastic bags over em.

Goddamnit, that means I have to get off my lazy tired ass and go into the freezing garage...

There's a way to modify them to where they can come on whenever you want, but I personally wouldnt do it and ive also heard of it messing up wiring. IMO, not worth it..
