I'm looking to complete the Foxbody fog light mod to reduce the load on the headlight switch. Searching various forums I'm finding old threads which refer to a good write up on the Corral at the following link: www. corral.net/tech/maintenance / foglights.html . This link does not appear to be accurate any longer as it redirects to EEC Tech page. I'm not able to find what I'm looking for. If anyone can direct me to the current link I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you...

I just bypassed all of the OEM wiring and installed an aftermarket foglight wiring kit then used the factory switch to provide the ground trigger. I didn't use this specific kit but I used an old assembly a friend gave me from their shop.

The power to the headlights flows into the dash and out to headlights. The dash switch has no ground function. Which is why they get hot and melt. A truly STUPID wiring setup. I was looking into this a few months back. I think posted about it and I think there was a wiring diagram posted in the thread.

It's on my spring project list since I just put a new switch in recently.

Thank you for the link. I will take a look at that to see if I want to go that route.

Thanks for the additional insight. I have the basic idea for wiring a relay but would like to read the post/thread that everyone seems to like so much. I guess I would like to see what can be learned from it.

Here's the thread with the diagram I created.

Fog light wiring?

I have my dash apart and my fog light switch came apart. The tabs that hold the pins in the plug broke so I bought a repair harness. 1st problem: The wires in the dash are solid orange and light blue w/ black line. I believe the light blue w/ black line wire is the ground and the orange is...

Awesome thank you. Read the post and that diagram will get me going.

Looking back at the diagram I made I thought it was not clear enough. So I modified it a little bit. Here's the revised diagram.

You have a write up on this? I have some relays I bought from MAD enterprises and plan to do this.
