here are some more detailed samples of the first pic. its just a wider field of view of what you would be looking at when you pull the liner back. pics 2 and 3 in my OP are close ups of the wire ends. as luck would have it, my 3000k fogs came in this week so it was convenient getting it done with the fender liner torn apart lol.

i traced the wires with the gold male ends, and they lead right to the hub assembly. i just need to know where it plugs into.

I was going to post earlier but I forgot to. The black and white wires with the thick rubber boot is for the ABS/VSC sensor. The brown/green is either for the sidemarker or the foglight.

For the ABS sensor, the connector is tucked right against the car's frame. It's in between the plastic liner and the car. Look around in there, it's a grey colored plug.

EDIT: Wait a sec lol. Upon further examination of your pictures, it looks like you're missing the other end to the plug. You see where that loop/metal plate with hole in it. Right above where the wire is in the picture, that's where the other end of the connector is supposed to be heh. You probably broke the clip off because that's where it usually sits. Dig around in that area and see if you can find it.

its all good.

the sidemarker and fog light both work, but the city light is out. the brown and green wires are probably for that.

i've closed everything back up because i have to get going, but i dont recall seeing or feeling anything that resembles a plug while i was fondling that area lol. i'll have another go at it tomorrow morning. thanks gents.

got an update. i looked and felt around and behind the frame and there was nothing. i replaced the city light and it lit up. at this point, i was convinced that the brown and green wires are my suspects. i rolled the dice and connected brown to black and green to white.

started her up and those 3 lights were still burning orange. damnit! drove it around for less than a minute and they went away. SUCCESS! so there you have it folks!

What happened to the pictures? Where they being copied from the projectdiy.com site? This just happened to me!

do the wires have to be soldered can they be connected with wire nuts or something along those lines?

Solder them if the connector is broken.

Shoot. I am pretty sure this happened to me because When i installed my BC racing coilovers i installed the abs wire bracket to high up the coilover. Thinking that i would need room to lower the threaded part down to lower the car. But i guess it make the cable to tight then you make a turn and SNAP. The wire's break. And in my case im pretty sure both of them did.

I am not very electrically savy at all. To be honest i have never worked with electrical stuff. How hard is it to solder/fix these wires? Also does anyone have any pictures to go along with the DIY? That would help alot. Thanks again. Man i feel stupid. Rookie mistake i guess...

Soldering is quite easy. Perdy much connecting 2 wires with the metal stuff. Keep it consistent without burning up the solder n your good. I remember soldering tiny microchip legs when i played with Xmods n it wasnt to hard. Wires are easier of course! i can try to get pictures since one of my lines are broken so maybe ill take some when i fix it :]

Hey jeff, If i take off my two front ABS wires and send them to you via overnight mail could you fix them for me and send them back? Abviously for a price! Let me know because i need these done and my soldering-wiring skills arent anywhere good enough!
