I have installed my JDM front end, and it looks great...except that it's 5 colors. I dont have the original bulb sockets for the fog lights. I need to know if someone can tell me POSITIVELY what bulb it uses, and if possible...where I can get a replacement socket for each side so I can wire them up. Enclosed a pic for reference.

H3C.

A pair of female spades will work fine.

OKay, H3C's....that's what I thought.

Female Spades???????

the bulb uses spade connectors use two individual spades and you can connect the bulbs without finding a new socket which you probably wont be able to find anyway

you could have searched to find the bulb info

I want to wire the fogs into the headlight pop-up switch, if I use H3's I was told they will fit right in the fog light, and I just have to tap into the headlights for power....and also make sure it is grounded so it doesn't blow em out. I want to wire them into the pop-up switch as mentioned before....since it no longer controls the motors, so I assume the wiring will be a little different. I am gonna pull the switch out to see exactly how it connects, and how many wires it has.
I did search for the info, and unfortunately when I have a question that it doesn't talk about, search does nothing....besides getting input from people is always nice....

the head: sorry it bothered you to read it.

IIRC the wires are brown and orange at the plug. Use a meter to verify.

you only need two of the 6 pins on the popup switch using a relay and a new circut insted of tapping off the headlights would be the best choice for power remove the switch there should be one pin that is a different color I am fairly sure you need that one, now hook a multimeter to it and set it to tone and look for a dead pin (one that doesnt make the meter beep) while the switch is in the off position when you find one turn the switch on and see if you get tone...if you do than those are the pins you want run your relay trigger to the switch and you are finished.

Alright, thanks for the info.

I'll give it a try and see what happens.
