Seems like the picture i was referencing to has been moved, or lost, hence its not showing up.

Lucky, i had saved it on my computer...



Its neither of the ones you posted. This relay box is above the brake foot pedal INSIDE the cabin. The image is of the box when you unscrew it and flip it up side down to expose the relays. When you first look at it, you will see a yellow plastic cover, you have to take off the 12mm bolt and pull down the box to expose the relays. The top one of the right is the foglight relay.

For the trigger source, i used the parking lights, so the parking lights would trigger the fog lights to come on, instead of the headlights. So you have to run a wire from your parking lights fuse (on the other side of the yellow box) as the trigger.

So just substitute the wire from the wipers, to the one from the parking lights, or which ever trigger you would like to use:




Have you tapped the RED/BLUE wire from the foglight switch yet?

If it wouldn't be any trouble, could you take pictures of your steps and write up a tutorial? Thanks man, I'd like to do this mod too.

I tried to do it on my 97 LS but when I re-wired the relay into the fuse box it would just keep blowing the fuse when I'd turn on my fog lights.

Does anyone have a picture like that posted above for a 97 set-up?

The relay box is the same for 95-00. You must have wired it to the wrong connector.

The link is up there in my first post:

But it seems spinout moved his server, and whatever pics he had posted are not coming up now.

I just started today with this, I had successfully removed the steering cover ,but I am unable to locate which connector from the steering that I have to remove, even I don't know how to remove the cover which is under the steering… I tried removing it by unscrewing 3 screws but still it did not came out,
I had taken some photos...

Here, follow this:

http://bananags.grantham-internation...GS_DIY/FOGMOD/

Read my first post a few times. The plug used is the one that goes into the headlight/fog light stalk (left of the steering wheel). When you pull out the connector, you will see a lot of wires, you have to tap into the RED/BLUE wire and run the wire down and follow the remaining instructions.

NOTE: DONT EVEN GET NEAR THE YELLOW AIRBAG CONNECTOR.

The green wire is on the GS, the LS has a red/blue wire that belongs to the fog lights if im not mistaken.

Its been about 3 and half years, so i cant remember exactly how to take off that piece, but i think there are some screws that are exposed once you remove the plastic black cover that houses the footwell light.
