      Still needing some help!!

      Again with fog lights.. wanna get this right! Okay, so i get the wiring harness and how it works, and everything, but i do not want to use a rocker or aftermarket switch like with all the universal harnesses I see, no, I want to use the OEM turn signal arm, so how does that work? I stuck a fuse in the "fog light" fuse opening in my fuse box and it has some voltage but there is also a relay opening with nothing in it. What do i need to put there? Isnt that how the fog light switch on the steering column gets its power? Or something? Thanks for any help... Again! lol

      if your car did not come with fog lights, you do not have a fog light switch, you would need to install a fog light stalk.

      Then you run your harness to the switch and plug it in.

      It will not. You will have to dig into the original harness and trace it from beginning to end. Get a diagram for your year car. And then start taking stuff apart. My car is cheap, Special Value Purchase (SVP), so most likely the wiring harness in my car is missing stuff. Your may have more or not. So from the steering column there has to be a wire going into the engine bay for the fog lights. Then look low under the bumper and see if there is already a connector there.

      Okay, so i need to check for wiring and if there is not then i will have to run my own harness(universal) and hook them up like that, right? Im understanding a little bit now, and now what if i wanted to use a universal harness with the factory turn signal stalk as pictured in the link above? How would i do that?

      OK, what have you done to help us. Not much. What year is your car? Keeping the discussion within one thread. Have you taken anything apart? Sometimes taking something apart and giving us feedback will help you more.

      OK man, stay focused your almost there.

      To answer your above question, you need to find a wiring diagram and start seeing what was actually in your car. Maybe take some pictures?

      For example, I just went and looked at my car. It's really really apart. So it's easy for me to look at stuff. I was poking and saw a floating connector. Oh maybe this is the fog lights....nah it's the horn.
