Wiring in Fog Lights
Alright guys, let me start by saying I am as awful as it comes with wiring. I want to wire these led lights into my fog lights. I have a 2006 Fx4 and was wondering how can i still use existing fog light switch and how have people mounted them. here is the link.

Are you replacing the original fogs lights with those ??
|
yes i am replacing the original fog lights. can i just splice them in? I want to retain using the factory fog light switch.
|
Yes you can... but, not sure if you noticed... the new lights are only 20W lights...not very bright !!
|
I just noticed that, Even the rigid brand are low as well. Is that because LED require less power?

Okay! thank you for the reply and your help!

Yep... good luck

Those LED's are rated at 1400 lumens so technically they should be brighter than factory fogs at 45watts. As you mentioned, yes LED's are more efficient than halogens.
Since the draw is less (20 watts), you'll be fine to run these on the existing circuit. They'll actually be easier on the circuit than halogens. If they were HID's and still drawing less, I'd recommend separating them but with LED's not so much at all. If you were really worried about it, you could still use existing wiring but use a relay. In your case though, I see no concerns. My only thing is watch the temperature... It should be less than a halogen but sometimes where the heat is can be different than a halogen so it could melt a housing depending on that (not likely though). One thing to keep in mind though is many LED's are directional. These are listed as flood so they should be really good. Lightbars are coming as spot (directional), flood, or hybrid. |
