I have a complete OEM kit that I have mostly installed. There are three harnesses, and a sh!t load of wires. Most of the install is straight forward, but I still can't figure out where three of the wires go. If you have no experience, and are trying to do an OEM retrofit, better take it to an expert.

Brown is usually a ground wire. Where is the grey one coming from?

Default Fog lite problem still!

Well i managed to connect the brown and grey wire into the car where the headlight switch is at. But as soon as i did the green fog light switch turned on. But it turns off whenever i turn on the headlights. I checked the instructions and did exactly as it said. The instructions are at the bottom 4 you guys 2 check it out. See if u know what the problem is cuz i sure dont.

ey i talked to my brother and he said it could be that the fogs are not getting enough ground which is causing it to light up this way. Is this true?

I seem to have two relays laying around as part of the fog light retrofit kit. Can anyone confirm the part # of the fog light relay? One of the relays is silver metal, the other is black plastic.
