I installed my LED Fogs last night. Had to extend the IJDM wiring harness to the drivers side fog light and I also didn't run my signal wire to the Parking lights. I ran the signal Wire to the Guage Fuse in the drivers side engine fuse panel with a add a circuit. this is a 5 amp factory fuse that is only powered on when the car ignition is on so I can use the fogs independent of the headlights. running the wire through the firewall was easy enough with a metal coat hanger and electrical tape. I am extremely happy with the light output and beam pattern. nice and crisp. and I didn't have any issue the the washer bottle in my 15 other than its a tight fit between the back of the fog light housing and washer bottle. There are no gaps around the lights and the garnish trim and everything fits and works like a charm. I mounted the fog light switch to the left of the steering wheel below the odometer gauge illumination controls with the supplied double sticky back tape.
What did you mean by "fuse panel with a dd a circuit"?
A little update. The standard bulbs ended up putting dark spots on my Lamin X over time. After going through 2 sets (warrantied via Lamin X) I switched to these bulbs and have been very happy. They generate basically no heat
Anyone know if there are better quality LED lamp housings over OEM? trying to figure out if I want OEM or just a cheap ebay one if OEM isn't that great this is for a 2018
OK, all done. I didn't want to tap or destroy any factory wiring in case, so here is what I did for my trigger wire to work with parking lights. It is actually a strand of wire from a coaxial cable that I clipped and soldered to the multistrand trigger wire then heatshrinked. I also pushed the wire into the weatherproof boot a tad more but forgot a pic so it's actually fully inside the boot now. ( Pics are backwards sorry )
What's that white rectangular box with the wires called, and where does it originate from? How would I access that?
On another note, what would I do differently if I would like the fog lights to turn on with the headlights instead of the DRL? Thanks.

Would you be to take a picture of where the Gauge Fuse is and also what you did exactly with the wires? I'm new at this, so the more pictures, the better. Thanks.
I'm assuming that plugging in the wires into that 24-pin connector is just for the relay portion of your fogs correct? You still had to hook the fog lights to the battery directly for power?

Where did you get the yellow fogs for your '06? Did you install Lamin-X over the Morimotos?
