I rec'd the fog light kit from mittaccessories today and not having anything else pressing and the weather being perfect I went ahead and did the install.
They arrived in perfect condition.
With a harness, switch, relay and fuse holder with fuse. A little light on the tie wraps and a package of screws were not req'd at all.
Look like OEM quality to me.
The instructions were pretty basic but everything you need to know is there.
Where to start. Inside or outside. I decided to go inside first as that was going to be the biggest challenge.
I decided to mount the switch in the pull down panel on the left, being the easiest to get to and also allowing for some visual while driving of the on indicator light on the switch.
Pulling out the panel from the bottom and then working up you have the switches revealed and the fuse block id just below it.
The yellow tabs are all that hold the panel in place, but they do a great job.
Pull out the blank and in goes the switch.
The split grommet is on the far left firewall and the hood release cable runs through it as well. I took a straightened coat hanger, the flexible POS kind, and slid it up beside the cable and with a little finagling it follows the cable to access the engine compartment. I will use this later to pull wire back through.
Now to the outside. I decided to pull the wheels to access the fog light blanks.
The blanks are right behind the wheel well liner.
I pulled as few snaps as possible.
And pulled off the wheel air dam, four screw, as well to release the liner.
Ahh, there she is. Two screws and one snap and she is out.
A quick check to make sure everything is equal. Yep, perfect.
Pop in the fog light. A ready to go up top and drop down the wiring harness. Hold on! This already has a harness ready for fog light install. Of course it is pretty inexpensive to go ahead and loom for fog lights as well!
But without a wiring diagram I spent an hour digging around seeing if the rest of the equipment was there. I didn't succeed and decided to just go with the provided harness. Maybe somebody can enlighten me and I can go ahead later and hook up the vehicles harness.
The right side is a tad more difficult because the washer tank is right behind the fog plug. A little juggling and it did go in without moving the tank out of the way.
I ended up running a tap from the power line to the driving lights to the switch. Didn't like to do that but I was at a loss to find another spot.
TADA!
I ordered this July 21 and arrived today, Express Post. No tax, no duty.
I give Mitt two thumbs up.
