You're not a very intelligent poseur. You should've just left them alone as cornering lights and accept the fact that your car will never have "Real" foglights. LOL!

did u just hook it up to ur running light or did u do a proper relay setup?

i wouldnt expect the bulbs to last more then a week, that type of bulb that its uses (1157/1156 dont remember witch one) is not ment to stay on for long periods of time. you can try led bulbs, but most dont fit the housing.

I did mine with no relay or anything. I just tapped each positive wire on each foglight to the postivie of the bumper lamp. The cornering lights turn on when the bumper lights are on.


With the issue with the bulb burning out. Mine hasnt gone out yet. But if your concerned about that, you can get led 1156 bulbs as stated..

Also just to let you know, if your planning on having these to keep you safe in fog, dont hold your breath. This is mainly for looks. The beam pattern with a 1156 isnt what you would expect from a actual foglight. maybe a h3 would help. but im not sure.

I wasn't aware that the 92's had DRL's. Actually, no, I know they don't. You can do what many other folks have done, myself included when I had my SC, and wire them up directly to the battery, you need a certain fuse but I forgot which one, and also wire them to the parking lights. They are pretty much useless, but as faux fogs, I guess it looks aight from far.

EDIT: See if $C300 can hook you up with the wiring diagram, it's the same one he gave me and I know for a fact it worked .
