Do you have to splice the wires for the 95 fogs?

Nice! Maybe you should just keep your comments to yourself if you don't want to share with the community

Its plug and play. You shouldn't even have to cut/splice anything. It would hookup to the back of the cap/cover. You can see on the first 2nd and 4th picture I posted on page 1. Its pretty straight forward.

black is ground, make it touch some type of metal, you can use my picture as reference. i use the two metal pieces in the foglight cap

6000k 55watts for low beams and 6000k for fogs 35watt

I'm getting a request on how the inside is connected. Here are some pictures since I have my foglight off anyway.

Why didn't I think of this? lol I guess I am afraid of hacking up OEM parts, but I am going to follow your DIY.

I've been rolling like this for the past 5 years

I just seen the worst ways of installing HID's in this thread(no offense, but I say it how I see it), so I was forced to do a DIY..
