Maybe I'll look into that later this summer or next year. I'm going for completely factory looking from the outside (all the non-factory looking parts will be replaced) so I don't really want anything obnoxious.

That would be crazy! What kind of blue? Like blue, or like in your face blue?

Oh yeah, pay attention to this when you wire fogs.

Page 24. Look at the number of the harness and the numbers of the relay.

Nice, that would look really good.

Holy huge link right there.

My fogs are all already wired in from the factory, the harness I ordered is the harness that connects the switch. I'm not doing any other wiring.

LUCKY. I have a huge birds nest in the front half of my car. Joy for side markers, HIDS, halos, etc.

Your fogs are probably prewired too, you just don't have the harness for the switch that connects to the accessory plug that I took a picture of. You could probably try searching ebay for that or get it from the dealer.

My front half will get pretty busy too when I wire in HIDs for fogs and head lights plus halos. It will be fun trying to figure all that out.

It's not that difficult. The headlights are a breeze. Hmm. I tried searching off each side of the loom and I couldn't find the plugs.

The driver's side plug is right in front of the radiator plugged into a blank socket. If you get on the ground and look straight at the radiator through that middle bumper cover opening, you should see it on the far right (towards the driver side). If you have that one, the other one is tucked up in between the washer fluid tank and the bumper support. It's also plugged into a blank socket and clipped on the inside of the fender/bumper support up inside. You really have reach up to feel it and you cannot see either of them from the top.

Oh, and the FCP rep, if you're reading this, I gotta give you guys mad props for putting together the suspension kit, and Mike was a big help. Oh, and by the way, is this the same rep as on VS? So I can just say your name instead of typing FCP guy or rep?

Looks good though man! I hate you.

Sounds good, I should be getting the harness this week, then hopefully I'll have some free time this weekend (mid-terms are in a couple weeks )to do as much suspension as I can and wire in the fogs.

Anyways, I just gave my bumper another shot and I still can't get the sides all the way on. I guess I don't blame the bumper for not going on all the way yet, it sat all twisted in the back of the wagon for a few months in the freezing cold, it's seen about 15 minutes of sunlight and it's parked in a 40 degree garage, it's probably pretty pissed at me. I gotta get some heat on the plastic to warm it up a bit so it's a little more flexible, thing's stiff as a log right now. (that's what she said ).

Dude, going as fast as I can

I made myself a list of things I have to get done to the car before I can buy anymore parts. So as I finish each one I'll check it off. I have at least a month's worth of weekends of stuff to do.

Haha yeah, I've done both my front struts in a little under 1.5 hrs. Oh the joy of wall mounted spring compressors.
