Does anybody know which wire is positive in the fog light wire harness? Is it the white wire or the green wire with the yellow stripe? I'm guessing the green wire, but would rather not have to switch wires, in HID power connection to the ballast, around in the adaptor plug if I got it wrong.

I have no idea??? but take a multimeter and check for continuity from each wire to ground (WITHOUT POWER APPLIED TO THE CAR!!!). whichever wire has continuity......thats your ground wire. the opposite is the power!
hey thanks a lot for the DIY, it worked great i installed jdm yellow luminis. After i installed the bulbs the 2 10 mm bolts one is longer the other one is shorter i got confused which one goes where so i put the short one next to the tire and the long one under the bumper. But thanks a lot anyways

My next project is installing 6500K Fogs and replacing the factory 4300k low beams with 6000k's from XenonDepot. Does anyone know how to wire the foglight HID kit? Will it work just like the factory fog lights or will I need addition switches, relays, etc?

It appears with the 3GS, you cannot replace the foglight bulb by removing the two screws in the front that secures the entire fog light housing like how the 2GS foglights are.

Thanks for the tutorial. I was able to install 6500k HID Fogs, ballast, fuse, and relay using ur directions. Only thing I did different was removing the two 10mm screws able the wheel. I removed the clips and the 10mm below the bumper.
6000k Garax low beams will be here this week
