mrafrica Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 ok so im gonna replace my fog lights but i would like to have them stay on when i have the highs on. but something im wondering is lets say i wire them in like you do with an amp. but with a switch hooked up in the power wire. how would i get the lights to turn off when i turn the key off? without using an existing circuit. like is there soemthing i could use in the wiring that would work on the principle of the remote wire function on an amp? how would i go about wiring in a fuse panel inside the truck and have it where the power would be shut off to it when i turned the key off? is that how the inside fuse panel works anyways? oh and btw i dont have any open fuse spots or else i would just use one of those to wire up the lights. Quote And far as the best connection ever....... get a huge fucking battery, cut the top off, drop an alt in there and then pour all that into your big amplifier. or just smelt them all together.

2000s-10 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 get a test light and check the fuses in your fusebox and see which one has power on when the key is on and run them of that .

Noobtastic14 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 yup! tap a switched source at the box then run a switch then to lights. so when car is on your lights can be turned on/off but when car is off lights must be off -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

MXmike800 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 why not just run a power wire with a switch on it from the batt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrafrica Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 ok thanks. doesnt a relay act like a remote wire in a way? if i wired the lights dirrectly to the battery but stuck one in there on the power wire and had it hooked up to a fuse that was off with the vehicle wouldnt that work?

Shyne151 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Foglights usually draw a good amount of current, I don't know that I would go just tapping into random fuses that protect my cars electrical systems... Best bet would be to tap into your vehicles accessory wire at the igntion harness... or wire in a relay. If you would rather try one of those methods, post up and I'll reply back with instructions... too lazy to type them all right now :-D Quote -Installer for Duke's Car Stereo 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix - Ported Eaton M90 S/C, 3.5" pulley, XS Power Headers, 1.9 Rockers, FWI, Poly Motor Mounts, Custom Tune.

mrafrica Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 its a 98. ok so that is the bosch relay i take it. ok so if i hooked it up that way where would i wire in a switch to use for when i didnt want them on? but still have it where they would shut off when i turn the truck off Quote And far as the best connection ever....... get a huge fucking battery, cut the top off, drop an alt in there and then pour all that into your big amplifier. or just smelt them all together.
