Ok if I buy the Hella Optilux Angel Eyes then how the heck do I wire 'em?
if you reply - detailed instructions please - I'm kind of slow and NOT electrically inclined

i'll ask my dad how he did it, mine uses the stock fog switch for the fogs and the corner lights for the light ring

Khop has it. That's exactly how I wired mine. The Hellas have a really good wiring setup, and you can use your existing foglight relay and switch. Yes the angel eye taps into the parking lights. DJScript wrote a nice tutorial with pictures of how to modify the existing foglight housing to accomodate the Hellas. It works great. Here's the post I found using the search engine. http://www.clubtgc.org/forum/viewtopic.php...l%20eye&start=0 ('http://www.clubtgc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11661&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=angel%20eye&start=0')

Since I'm getting PMs about this, I'm just gonnna post it here --


Use the wire that came with the fogs. This wire has connectors for the fog lamp wires. The other end has three wires, Black, White & Yellow.



You don't have to cut the wiring harness from the stock fog wires in case you want to put the stock fogs back. Just use a wire tap connector that you can get from radio shack or the automotive dept of walmart/kmart.



Tap the Black and White wires into the factory fog wires. Black to black, White to red. Tap the Yellow wire into the parking light wire. I tapped mine into the driver's side harness (see back of your parking/turn signal bulb) . It's the Green-Red wire (green with red stripe) So, the angel eyes turn on when I turn on the parking lights and the fogs turn on when I use the factory fog light switch.
