DIY: Silvia Foglight Wiring

There's a bunch of threads out there with partial information so I figured I throw together a quick DIY of how to wire up your fog lights.

First, locate the harness that plugged into the factory pop-up motors and splice it open. Inside you'll find a bunch of wires, the ones you're going to be concerned with are the BROWN and the Black. They should be pretty thick.

Now, go down to Auto-Zone and pick up some connectors and wire up as shown below.



and



There are 2 pop-up harnesses (duh), 1 for each side so you'll have to splice twice. Make sure you get insulated connectors as you dont want the leads to short (blow a fuse).

With the way its currently wired, your pop-up light switch to the left of the steering wheel will turn the lights on and off, however. Every time you turn your headlights on all the way, your fogs will come on too no matter how many times you press that button to get them to turn off. Why? Think when you had your pop-ups, would it really make sense to be able to turn your lights on then have them go back down and stay on? Its the same circuit, we just have a different device hooked up.

Solution? Go around to the passenger side of the car and locate this box:



This box contains relays/fuses. We're concerned with the one the arrow is pointing to.

Open up the box and pull the relay.



Mine is already gone, but the arrow shows where it was.

Now when you press your pop-up switch, you can turn your fogs on and off, no matter if your headlights are on or not. Just remember to turn them off when you're done.

Great article. Just did it to my car and it works perfectly. Very smart for taking out the relay!

because they own, they OWN! and yeah, they're rare. i believe they came with the Silvia J's? someone correct me if i'm wrong. also the Sil80 that was produced came with bricks iirc.

its all a matter of preference. and i love the bricks.

glad you guys like the write up.

my write-up is for the bricks. as stated before, the out lights are an H4 bulb just like on your 240sx lights. the inner lamp is an H3C fog lamp. hella bright.

champayne, you've got the Dual Projector headlights. lol. i think the yellow is supposed to be a running light.

Hrm. I thought they were fogs. Ohh well. If CHP gives me crap at least I can turn them off. Highway Patrol out here are terrible.

i have a question, i cut the brown wire that goes to the back of the switch in order to control sleepy eyes when i had lids. should i try to figure out how to wire tht back up in order to turn the lights on and off because the switch never put the lids up without the wire i only let them down and stoped them. thanks
