Hella 118's

[mike walker]

I bought some Hella 118's through the horn grill. Since its not a kit I will need to do the installation from scratch. Any advice and/or pictures of installs out there. Wiring schematics will help too.

Thanks

Can I tie these lights to my high beam circuit?

Hi Mike,

Are they fogs or long range? If fogs, you'll want to wire them through a seperate dash switch. I know the fog wiring should be tied up in with your existing harness for your front turn signals and under the dash. If long range, they should be wired to operate with your high beams. I haven't looked into what it would take to run them with high beams yet.

They are fogs.

Mike:
The wire is already in the turnsignal wiring harness. Look for a white with green stripe. The two wires should attach to fuse #8 in fuse box 2. I could not find the fog light switch in the 73.5 wiring diagram.

Just one wire per each lamp?

I then should wire from fuse #8 to a relay then to a switch? If a relay is need do I need to purchase one?

Thanks for your help

Mike

I'm no wiring expert, but evidently there is a harness for the factory USA fogs.
Mine were factory installed, so I've never messed with them. Function is a dash pull switch. Pull the switch, a light shines through the green fogs emblem. The fogs work only when the headlights are on low beam. I don't think they help me see in the fog, but they might make the car more visible to others.
