Recently bought these fogs off ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OE-STYLE ... 909wt_1214 , and have eveything installed but dont know how you're supposed to connect two plugs for the switch. I think theyre supposed to go into the fuse box somewhere? If anybody has gotten aftermarket fogs w a seperate switch please let me know what you did to make them work!

One of the two extra wires connects to the battery so that there is a constant current going to the lights, for the second wire I spliced into one of the wires in the fuse box that would only work if the car was turned on and was running 12 volts. That wire is so that you wont be draining your battery by having that one wire connected to it, as soon as the car shuts off the power stops. Took me a while to figure out (thankfully my dad is an electrician), but definately worth it!
