LED Fog light installation succeed, NO DEALER NEEDED!!

Hi this is Tyrant from Taiwan. I finished my fog light installation today NO DEALER NEEDED!! I can control the fog light on and off by switching on/off the side light, so no extra switch installed. There are 2 stages or more if you want, 1st stage side light on and fog light off, 2nd stage side light on and fog light on. You can also add the 3rd stage: side light off and fog light on. Here is the procedure.

 

Note: I use the "LED" light, so the power comsumption is low.
If you want to use the REAL fog light(55W), you have to add a relay series to the output of the control box. use the control box to control the relay and power the relay by battery.
Note: The "control box" was modified from the 3 or 4 stages IC switch used for house light switching. I have procedure to modify it, see below.

It uses 4013 chip to do the controlling

1.Unplug the fuse number 6 and 7 or disconnect the battery.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
The fuse unit is under the dashboard of driver side, you have to get down to see it. The fuse number is on it!! (Red 7.5A)

2.Turn the wheel to the extreme right/left

3.Reach your hand inside the hole and find the clip of the grilles, you may
lay on the ground and try which hand is easier to reach in. See my blog
