Love the mod, doing it myself this week...I have a question... where on the firewall were you able to run the wire through? did you have to drill a hole through the firewall or was there a place to snake the wire through already?

Put there wire through were the trunk latch wire runs. its next to the clutch master cylinder and brake booster behind the strut tower. When you do that the wire comes through right were the fuse box is.

yes, it will..... open your hood, (facing your car) look in the upper left hand corner, there's a triangular hole there that goes to the driver's pedals.

buy fogs, wire fogs, post pics of fogs..

i'd just buy a $16 set up from walmart, and put it behind the grilles and it comes with a switch.

You can do it two ways...

A) Minimal - hook the fogs directly to your headlight connections or running lights and buy the appropriate fuse for the extra juice consumption. Which one you hook them up to determines when the lights come on...

B) Full - Hook them up to the fuse slot in the box that goes for exterior lighting and add the custom switch on your dash...

I'm stating the obvious but this mod is a great addition, it will give you better visibility at night and make your vehicle easier to see. Not to mention it looks kick ***...

Sorry for bumping this, but I'm really interested in 94_240's fog light set up. I think he should get going on mass production of these. These fog lights would sell like hot cakes!
