Hello Everyone, this is my car .
As you can see my car only has 1 OEM foglight and it's not that good. So I went to autozone and bought some new foglights and decided to make a simple HowTo for all people that are like me.
Experience: NONE what so ever!
*I've never done this kind of work before, I'm a noobie here
Tools:
1) FogLights: mine are the Pilot PL-2055C -
***This is so you guys know how much it costs and where to get them.
2) Circuit tester -
3) Electrical tape
4) Screwdriver
5) Female Bullet Terminals -
6) Ruler Set -
7) Driller
Ok so let's begin.
This are all the parts that came with the foglights.
Installation:
1) Check the cables, which one is positive and which one is negative. Example: In my car the driver side foglight cables where like this:
and the passenger side foglight cables where like this:
.
Took the passenger side OEM foglight out:
2) Unplug the Negative battery cable, then connect the new foglight to the cables just to test that everything works. Connect back the Negative battery cable and test the foglight:
.
***Just so you know, I'm not leaving it like that, like I said just testing the equipment and holding the cables so they don't touch each other.
3) Now I'm gonna use this to set where I'm gonna put the foglights:
.
This is how I ended on one side:
and the other:
***The only reason I used that degree ruler was because I wanted to know if I was properly aiming the lights to a 90 degree. The lines represent each side of the new brackets of the foglights, the two ovals represent where the I'll make the little holes and put the bracket screws. The line at the top represents that I'm properly aiming at a 90 degree look, so lights are properly aim forward and not sideways:
***Some more examples:
4) Made the little holes with my driller and mounted the brackets, then mounted the foglight:
.
5) Make the arrangements to set the foglights at least 5 to 10 degrees down so that the lights are properly aimed in the vertical axis:
***Some more Pics:
6) With the Negative battery cable unplug, apply the female bullet terminals to the car cables, after that connect the new foglight to the cables:
***Test to make sure everything works properly:
7) Use the electrical tape to make sure no dust, water, or whatever thing make contact with the cable and that the positive cable doesn't touch the negative cable. After that it's a thing of putting a little bit of more tape on the hole thing and hide the cables behind the bumper.
YOUR DONE!
EXPERIENCE GAINED: 218
YOU'VE LEVEL UP! 1 -> 2
ABILITIES GAIN: ELECTRIC TESTING: MAKE USE OF THIS ABILITY TO MAKE SURE WHICH WIRE IS WHICH.
For my case as the sun was going down:
I began testing them and here is the finish look:
.
I really had fun mounting the new foglights and thinking of whats my next project.
