would like help with diy s13 foglights

[Quach]

im relatively new to cars and working on them, i would like to install some foglights into the little vents on my 92 s13. is there a trick to doing it, or is more so like buying them as a kit and a straightforward install?

yea, straight forward. Instructions come w/ fog lights for wiring. The only thing you need to find is where you want to mount the bad boys.

took me 10minutes to install lights 20minutes to run wires 5 minutes of it was trying to get through the firewall.

what kind of fog lights do you guys recommend? im thinking of mounting them behind the vents, so probably some lights that wont melt them... if thats possible.

so i jut put in the fog lights today, but i ran into a problem... the fogs work fine and the wiring wasnt too bad (despite the fact that it looks like crap in my engine bay), but i cant figure out a way to get the wiring through the firewall. can someone help with suggestions? please?

Easiest way (at least for me): look on the driver's side of the firewall near the fender. There should be a wire w/ a rubber boot connected to the firewall.

Pull the boot, slip the wire through, reinstall the boot.

thanks , do you tihnk you can go alittle more into detail about this boot? i think i have an idea of what youre talking about, but i wanna make sure.

If it's the same boot I'm thinking of, looking down, it's below and to the right of the brake cylinder. It's super easy to get through there, and the wire will pop out just above the fusebox in the driver's footwell. From there, it's an easy extention across the steering column and into the back of the center console. From there, you can route your switch to anyplace in the cabin. Good luck!
