if you know anything about the electrical system, it should be a no brainer. i did a quick diagram on mspaint .. hope you guys understand it. you can also run a diode btwn the low beam and high beam, so you can have your low and when you turn on ur highs, your low beam will stay on. remember the pop up botton on your dash? with this diagram, that button is now used to turn on your fogs. with your old headlights, you turn on your low beams, your pop up motor turns on, and then turns your lights on. so now with the s13 front, when you turn on your lows, the fogs turn on also. the diagram might be a little hard to understand since i sketched in under a minute, so let me know if you have any other questions.

since xxdjstriderxx is coming over on monday so i can wire his lights, maybe he can help you explain things better after i teach him.

umm ... fuk .. i just did this today to xxdjstriderxx's car but i dont really remember the wire colors ..

if you buy the s13 silvia lights, they should already have a 3 prong h4 male connector on it that hooks up to your OEM female h4 connector. the only thing you wire is the fogs, which you cut off and crimp a connector and plug into. not too sure on the wire colors .. it was a thick black wire and im not sure which color the other ones is.

sry cant be of much help.

if you post picture itll help me better tho.
