Fog lights 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be matty on  Mon Mar 25 09:19 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi all.

I am thinking of installing front fogs and have a simple question. i was looking under the bumper at the place where the holes have to be cut and i could see a single connector just above attatched to the car(not hanging). Is this the connector I hear about because alot of the past threads say the connector is behind the battery?

    1st you don't need to drill anything - the oe lights should go where you have black "inserts" on ea side of the bumper.

    2nd i installed them in the middle on the sides of the license plate and used screws that hold plastic bumper cover to mount the brackets that hold the lights so no drilling was needed.

    3rd my 95 850glt did have the a single orange/green wire connector by the battery and it was hanging (there is another connector by the buttery that inserts into a dummy plug - i don't know what it for but it did not have proper voltage/ power)

    4th my car needed relay switch and relay/switch harness that i had to modify since it had two relay holders and also installed a fuse there - the existing wiring on mine goes from under dash to the battery and that is it

    WHEN YOU WORK UNDER DASH DO NOT PULL/TOCH ANY OTHER WIRES - I HAD LOSE TERMINAL THAT DEALER SAID i MIGHT HAVE DONE WHEN INSTALLING FOG LIGHTS
