splicing headlight and foglight

[hirichard]

i spliced the red wire for my parking lights and tapped one wire for the fog to that, then i grounded the other wire. the fogs worked for a few months but killed my battery and alternator, it happened twice.

i suggest hooking it up so it gets power from the battery, i needa find out how to do that.

just like this.

ignore pin 87A, you won't have that on a regular 4 pin relay.

and instead of wiring it to a switch, wire it to your headlamp wire if you want.

I don't know what's so wrong with just wiring them to a switch, its not any more difficult.

do what nsjames said and you can buy a quick snap wire splice to make it easier to tap into the headlight wire. just make sure you buy the correct gauge connector for the wires.

Post a picture of the connectors..from the harness siide to the switch and to the switch to the harness..it would be easier to find out..ground simple, power, simple...switch..confusing without cable colors..
