These are the examples. They are sunken like this when installed. You need this type of switch to keep the cruise control switch.

Second switch is for 180sx optional fog lights, but still you can make it work. I ran into a brand new set of 180sx kouki lights, but didn't get it because I think they look ugly even on 180sx kouki.

They run about $300 in Japan. With shipping you are looking at somewhere around $350-400.

nice write up. Anyone know how you'd be able to wire it up so that fogs can be on while flip ups are down?

Just one question guys, I hooked mine up according to the write-up but something went wrong somewhere or th 93 S13 is different. I used a toggle switch to operate the lights as stated because I was doing this for extra points in my electrical class. Got the lights to work (saturday, got my ten points) but then started car and turned on lights Monday night, no dash (instrument) lights. I switched the plugs around on the toggle (has 3 connectors) and dash (instrument) lights work again. I either have fog lights or dash (instrument) lights. It seems the toggle is now controling the instrument panel lights for some reason. PLEASE GUYS ANY INFO WILL BE HELPFUL. be nice if I can keep my B+ for class. If you have any ideas or info feel free to call or text me 2534959936 or email [email protected]. I need to fix this by Wed.

i have just done this got the relay and the switch unfortunatly it doesnt work with hid kits. when the hid kit is installed you only get 10.8 power through the relay which wont switch it and turn on the lights. fogs must be done from scratch with hids. if anyone knows a way around this problem let me know.
