ZombieswithMustaches Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I've got the 8000k headlights coming. So, I'm thinking about getting some for the foglights. And then my next question is, how do I wire up the foglights to stay on with the headlights?? jason p.s. I've been doing some changes to the Tahoe. As soon as the exterior is done, I'll reveal it.

tacomabanga1986 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 ied wire my foglights in with the parking lights, thats how i do it sometimes, so when the parking lights are on there on, so there kinda like driveing lights, n then turn on headlights? but u can wire off the pos low beam wire n they will stay on all the time, are u gettin 8000k h/l or just low beams? i can make it work but i dont kno exactly how to type it out on how to do so, but its acually easy to do, my regular headlight wires had enulf currnet flowing so i didn't need the whole ballast treatment for my hids, and www.futurevisionhid.com is a good place, and alot cheaper than what i payed for mine, n there part of smd so that makes it all the better hope this helps Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant just hook up an HID bulb to 12vDC like a halogen and have it work. They dont work that way.....maybe i am misreading what you are trying to say.

tacomabanga1986 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 http://www.futurevisionhid.com/fog-light-k...c-35_48_43.html and i didn't mean balast, i ment the relay deal, from headlight harnes to relay switch to battery 12v n what knot, mine just has prongs thats wired to a plug that goes into ballast, guy said mine were good enulf to power the ballasts without the relay harness, so it worked out for the better, but still yet i gave $200 for my hids n fvh are alot cheaper n better quality seems like products Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meade916 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 thats what i figured.... anyway for wiring in fogs to turn on when the headlights turn on, definitly use a relay.

tacomabanga1986 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 but ya u can wire it threw a relay setup, its pritty simple, why steve said a relay cause its a lil more leanient on the power u get than just tapping str8 into the headlight wireing, just run a pos wire from battery to relay, either a highbeam, or low beam pos wire from headlight wireing, or just tap into the relay harness that comes with ur hids to turn on the ballasts, n then just wire that into other relay n ur set i wished i knew how to type it out as to show it in person, but its almost as simple as installing regular hids, just a little rewireing diff stuff but still works, and make sure u heatshrink the wire cause electrical tape comes off with road grime n what knot, but other than that good luck with ur truck man Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacomabanga1986 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 this should be sufficient for wireing this http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=330-073 http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=330-074 and if u need it http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=500-001 if u dont want to tap into the hids relays wireing u can go this route, n get all u need for around $5 Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieswithMustaches Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Thanks guys. Always appreciated. I'm gonna order the H.I.D.s for the foglights probably early next week. Will they work with the factory foglights I have on my LS or do I need to upgrade? What kind of bulb should I be getting?? And Steve, when am I coming out to do some tattoo work and get those 24's from ya???
