If you have any fog light project you would like to share, contact me, Thanks.
This is the right way to wire a set of fog lights. The relay switches the heavy current
to the fog lights with big wire, while the dashboard switch wiring can be very small.
This keeps high current & large wires out from under the dash & in the engine
compartment where they belong. A typical set of 55 watt lights will draw about 8 amps
for the pair. The dash switch will pull only about 0.3 amps to operate the relay.
Be sure to run extra ground wires from the fog lights themselves. Don't depend on the cheap
spring or case ground to work. Take the light apart if necessary, & add a real ground
wire. Run these to the frame somewhere handy. This will keep the lights from being intermittent.
This diagram shows the wiring using a Bosch relay. These are found just about everywhere.
So what kind of Fog Lights should you use? Well there are a bunch out on the Market, the
ones like best have Amber Lens, they will contast with the white of fog or snow. For
fog lights that fit the 1960's trucks, I like to use Per-Lux All Weather Lights model
# 200-T, These are Big lights & should be mounted above the bumper for protection.
