AutoZone fog light install
So I finally got around to getting some fog lights, and picked up a set from AutoZone. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to go with blue or yellow tinted lights, but these had both depending on the angle, so I picked them up.
The installation was a bit tricky, since I basically had to make my own mounts. Ended up trimming a piece of coroplast down and using a screw through the little hole in front to make a little shelf for them to sit on. Hopefully it'll hold up alright, feels fairly solid.
The wiring was pretty straightforward, except the switch-to-ground and power wires were rather short. Had to use some random spare wire for the ground, and just barely got the power wire to reach. On my last set, I just stuck the plug in a slot in the fuse box, but it wouldn't work on this one, so I actually ran it out to the battery.
Getting the wires through the firewall wasn't as easy as I'd hoped, since the OEM harness is all nice and sealed, so I ended up sticking a screwdriver past the side of the grommet and sliding the wires past, hoping the grommet doesn't pinch the wire too much against the metal.
For the switch, I trimmed it down and stuck it in the blank slot between the traction control and bluetooth buttons. A little rough around the edges, but not bad for $20 and half a day's work.
