I have my foglight kit from IPD out. I connected all of the wires except for the one that is supposed to be spliced into the wiring to the headlights. There are 3 wires on the connector going to the bulb. The box on the foglights says to splice into the positive wire. What color is the positive wire?


Thanks

On my headlights there are three wires. Black(ground), Blue(low beams), and
Red(high beams). You want to only have the lights work when your low beams are
on. This is what's legal to my knowledge. Splice into that blue, that will work
for you.

Just my 2 cents on this... my feeling is that the reason why you'd want to have separate foglights is because your regular headlights are reflecting back at you off the fog (or heavy snow) making it impossible for you to see. That's why your high-beams actually make it harder to see in these conditions. If you r-e-a-l-l-y need to have your foglights on, visibility is likely so bad that you will be creeping along extremely slowly, and you'd want to have your headlights o-f-f to be best able to see where you're going. Two winters ago during a blinding snowstorm, I experimented with various lighting combinations, and foglights alone worked best. In fact, driving with parking lights only provided better visibility than with the low-beam headlights. Mind you, I was driving at a maximum of about 15 MPH due to the conditionsm, which were bad enough to compel most drivers to use their flashers to provide rearward visibility. Anyway, so based on that, I want to wire them to be in sync with the parking lights, not the headlights - even though in most cases you might use them in concert with the low-beams, I would definitely want the option to use them by themselves. Of course, this is probably not legal.
