oh, it is a touring turbo machine of death :-D

the red led deal is.. a red led :shock:
ha ha it came on when i had the ignition kill (bad idea) in the car, along with the security system and an auto door opener. all that bogus was making my car randomly not start so i had just the ignition kill and auto opener deal removed.


AND....
im putting in the my jdm fogs right NOW!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

yeah i figured it out with alot of help from a friend. :D

super stoked you don't even know :-D

the fogs are brighter than my headlights and all the other lights my car has, and the sun....COMBINED!!!

it's crazy and no i'm not lying.

and yeah i'll post up some pics of the hood scoop install tomorrow
for ya AW. it was alot easier than i made it... as with everything i do with the car :D

Glad you guys like it :-D

Take pic's with the fog's on should techically be difficult to see though since it is brighter then the sun lol. Then again your lights look VERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY dim I think you need to clean lens dude and get some silverstars.

do you really think they're that dim?
well i guess you aren't staring at my car right now but i just sandpapered my life away only afew months ago on them.

they're pretty clean, i think i need to angle them better or build some custom hawtness.

something like evolution's headlights would be ultimate.

and wow i need to get back into the garage.
gotta get em' done!
ok going

yes sir,
i used a 30 ?watt? fuse that i wired right into the switch, and my power comes right off the battery so i can turn them off and on when the car is off.

yes they are, and they are also angled up REALLY bad so can't use them much without blinding people yet.
gotta fix that

thanks, you did a write up right?
i think we're the only people on here that did this.

lol what I mean't by "did you just use a wire" is some people just jump the fuse with a wire and call that a fuse.

You didn't use a relay? The switch will melt. I got a Hella kit for my GL sedan that had a bad relay with it, being too lazy to replace it I directly wired through the switch. The first one lasted a few weeks, the second one about the same but shorted so that the lights were constantly on, the third was rated for 30A and still went bad (I was stubbornly determined to get them to work at that point). Strangely, it usually didn't blow the fuse any of those times and I believe I used 20A. I got a new relay before the car burned up.

You can get power for the switch from something other than the lights if you want to use them without the headlights (which is generally illegal, but works better in near white-out snow). On the wagon, I tied them to the parking lights.

Yeah I would tie fogs to the parking light. Although it would be nice to have it so they turn off when the high beams come on.
