87sheerips Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 My buddy and I just fabricated some headlight brackets (which are bad ass) out of stainless steel, etc. Ive seen this done before, but I figured id ask to be sure. Can I run regular 12v car foglights (small KC's) with my stock electrical setup (stator, etc) Let me know cuz I really want to use em!, ohh and what 2 out of the 3 stock wires will I use to hook em up??

SDD Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 As long as you don't have more than 75 watts of total light output you will be fine. Remember the tail light is 5 watts normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87sheerips Posted July 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 cool, well I have no rear light so I should be fine i hope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwill Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Chech bulb size-you can only run 35watt-most KC lights have 55watts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 The rear is only worth 5 or 7 watts. Just make sure the fronts have 35W bulbs and your good, if it's 50W, then it will be dim as all hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87sheerips Posted July 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 what 2 of the 3 factory wires do i use to hook up the new foglights?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDD Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I think the green and yellow are the positive wires, one for low beam the other for high. I have my hellas tied into both of these wires so it doesn't matter if I bump the light switch to high my lights will stay on. Just remember to stay under 75 watts of TOTAL light output.

DIRTMAN350 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I run a couple of small fog lights on my 98 shee. I tapped them into the low beam side of the switch. They are the 35 watt lights. They work pretty good at night. Just use a test light at the wires when you have your shee running and position the switch in each position and tap into it there. Or like someone else said tap into each wire and see if they work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
