Welcome to another episode of The Eight Nine Garage. In this episode, we dive into the wiring of the fog lights, and fix it the way Ford should have wired it. Also, we add some LED bulbs to the clear headlights which were acquired from Travis at @classicleds here in Utah.
Fog lights can really set the car off. Glad you got them working. Doesn’t matter what kind of wire you use as long as it works.
I agree, Greg! Frankie will get the same setup before long.... trying to locate some clear fogs now.
I should have wired mine like 'at. Makes sense to put in a relay. I might need to make a change to what I done.
Is yours wired straight through the switch? 15 amps is a lot to ask of that switch!
@@89G yes it is and I better change it after seeing this.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. The video content helped me. I wish you success.😊
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback!
Awesome job man looks great!
Thank you so much! I really love the way it looks.
I agree
@@89G me too
my firebird was set up simelar to that. nice look to it.
I knew some GM's were probably wired like that from the factory. What year was your Firebird?
Cheers
Cheers, and thanks for watching!
Wonder if this could work on a Ranger too. Hmmm. I like how it looks.
My Ranger had a relay already... it was a 96.
Good tip. They look way good clear too. Nice change Shane.
Those look super super good! Very nice well done.
Thank you!
Good idea man. I been wanting to do some aux lighting on my LX. Thinkin' this is the way to go.
I'd love to see that! Thanks for watching!
This is my fav vid I seen on this * Thank U *
Nice work man :)
Thank you! I appreciate it.
That looks killer, buddy. Maybe go to LED on them fog lights too? That would be sweat.
That's the plan. I need to figure out the best solution. Thank you, by the way!
Fog lights looks good on a fox in the dark, it just sets it off and now your 20 something year run without them is now over. I know that u are sad about that but he said let there be light, so he did 🤣😂 I wonder how many people are going to give you flak for using the harmless speaker wire , Ive used it many times but I have seen ppl spaz out over it 🤦♂️ but you have nice cars which I guess u already know putting them in car shows. You'll never know what you can find tangled up behind these dashes and the simplest thing has sent many to get scraped unfortunately. But stay cool and I can't wait to see the turbo and supercharger get put on these 2 😁 or is it wishful thinking🤔....... 😂🤣
LOL... yes, let there be light! Yeah, probably should've used something other than speaker wire. I'm out of regular single conductor 12 gauge though. Turbo or supercharger, eh? Maybe Frankie. LOL
@@89G nah nothing wrong with it, its made out of copper as well and probably a cleaner copper than your average copper wire probably the only difference, use what you have, you did it as correctly as possible. 🤣 yeah I figured that I would act like u were going to do a power adder. I drove the pinto down the road and hes going to be a strong car and hes the boss right now until I get use to him or if i get used to him
@@79beans347 Did you post a video of it yet? I'd love to see it run!
@@89G Aw man I drove it down the road and back and was having so much fun with it I didn't think about recording it but if I get off early enough I will get a vid of it and post it up for you, there's a few others that is wanting to see it too
@@79beans347 Awesome! I can't wait to see it. And hear it :) I need a little motivation to get on my 351 swap.
Surtainly going to do this one on mine. Fifteen amps seems to much for sure.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Was your car blowing fuses , as soon as you turn on the fog light ?
I don't believe it ever blew a fuse, it would just turn off when they got warm.
You're wiring diagram you switch 85 and 86 but the relay was marked correctly so the right side says 85 on the relay you're wiring diagram says 86 so my question is do I follow your 85 and 86 or use on your whiteboard because of my relay it reads just like your relay when I freeze frame. Going clockwise 87 is at 12:00 85 is at 3:00 30 is at 6:00 86 is at 9:00 87 a is in the middle
I'll have to go back and see what you mean when I'm back home. But, if you wire it like this (below) it is correct:
Pin 85 - Ground
Pin 86 - From Switch (12V)
Pin 30 - Constant 12V
Pin 87 - Output to Fogs
@89G awesome I'll go with that. Yeah I was just a little confused with when you look directly at the relay and then look at your whiteboard. Then when you switched the 85 and 86 on the whiteboard. it was throwing me off, but I'm excited to get the look I've wanted for years.
@@MattBeck-mv9py I may have been drawing it as looking at the harness instead of the relay. It's been a minute since I did this, but I need to do the same thing on my 88 now. Thanks!
Awesome thanks . Yeah I'm going to dig into it today I already replaced the headlight switch and new lights now I just have to wire it how it should have been originally . Thanks for all your help and I'll update you when I get it done @@89G
@@MattBeck-mv9py awesome! Looking forward to hearing how it works out.
I have led head lights , and fog lights . Do you think the headlight switch , coupe be the issue?
For blowing the fuse? How fast does it blow the fuse?
@@89G as soon as soon as I hit the fog light switch .. I traced all the wires ,no wires are cut or exposed .
@@Lxmustang805 any idea how many amps your lights are pulling? It's not likely to be your switch. There's not any ground in the switch other than the back lights.
@@89G the car didn’t have fog lights when I bought it , it doesn’t have any electrical issues , as far as lights flickering & battery draining . I recently installed new fog lights, and LED bulbs, and I notice the original fuse was burnt . So i installed 2 new ones , and it kept blowing them out .. as far as power draws none , car can sit for 2 months and will start right up with no issue.
@@89G I might wire them separately as well , to save me the headaches..
Do you have a good used gt fog light bracket kit and a good ground effects bracket kit that you might want to sell? If so let me know! Thanks! The 89 is looking good
I just bought ground effects for Frankie. If his old stuff is appealing, those can be available. I don't have a fog light bracket, but... Travis at Classic LED'S might. I've been buying parts from him for over 25 years now.
@@89G ok let me know his link so I can get in touch with him, and let me know about what you might have. Thanks
@@terrydolbow4299 Terry, I somehow missed this message. My sincere apologies.
You can find Travis on Instagram @classicleds or at www.classicleds.com/
fog light bracket is about $113 new at LMR
I'm kinda lost on ur wiring. I see the brown wire on the fog light switch connected to another wire in the headlight switch. which wire is that??
It's been a minute since I did this... let me run out to the garage and check.
It's coming off the brown on the headlight switch too. That is the park lights wire.
@@89G oh ok thanks
@@baldheadjamaican2551 No problem! Please let me know if I can help with anything else!
@The Eight Nine Garage ok so u just tapped into
I’m super confused after watching this video
What can I help with?
