I believe they came like that, as that's a GTZ

**Xrs2** · 02-26-2006, 12:21 PM

Is that red a stock color? If so what its color code?

Anyway yes the GTZ has colorkeyed grille.

BKLYNLANG1 · 03-04-2006, 04:29 PM

Brought in from another thread...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(lKoRTy)</div><div class='quotemain'>I want to do the fog light re-wire but i cant figure out which white wire to cut lol...
if relay is what i thougt it is.. then there r 4 wires coming to it? 2 red and 2 white? .... confused.. tell em where the relay is and what wire to cut lol.</div>

Being how devgrp stated that there are only three wires, you are definately looking at the wrong relay. Look at the diagram on the fuse box cover...there should be a half circle with three waivy lines next to it. That's the corresponding position for the fog light relay.

it is the one next to the large gray box, on the side closest to the battery and in the position closest to the front of the car.

**pinoyesv6** · 07-23-2006, 10:17 PM

ok i opened up the fsm and read through it.

let me start off with this picture

this picture shows the location of the relay in the 99-01 models but more importantly, it shows that the relay has 4 terminals. 1, 3, 4 and 5. notice the pin diagram on the relay. keep that in your head.

now here's the wiring diagram for the relay.

notice i circled the 1,3 4 and 5. it might look like there's 3 wires since 1 and 4 come from the same place. but yea, don't mess with that.

you'll be messing with the wire that is marked 3. this wire goes to the ecu. when you turn on the fog lights, the ecu grounds the wire marked 3.

but yea, back to the tutorial. take that wire marked 3 and cut it. now you have two wires. the wire that goes into the relay. thats the one you connect to a switch and ground.

I had my foglights wired up to the parking lights since last year and I got bored with that look, so I decided to change it up a little. I also took off the bright corner mod.

This was very simple. Ok, there are 3 wires coming from the foglight relay. 1 white and 2 red. I cut the white wire (this should be the ground) in half. Now you have 2 white wires. The half of the wire thats going up to the fuse box is the one we will be working with. Strip the end and run it thru the firewall under the dash. (the wire is short but I just got a longer piece of wire and extended it)

Get a 2 pronged switch and connect 1 prong to the wire thats coming in thru the firewall and then connect the next prong a ground wire. (I just tapped the ground wire for the cigarette lighter.

Now you have the ability to turn on your foglight using the new switch and the dash indicator will still work. There is no need for the car to be running or any of the lights on for this to work.

i just did this today but 4 some reason my whole right side park lights wnt work wat did i do wrong?
