    Early to Late model Fog Lights

    I just did the bumper swap and would like to know if there is anything I need to know before cutting the wires from my early model connectors to solder in the late model connectors.
    SO MUCH MORE TO DO!!

      Nothing really to do except solder the new connectors to the right wires.

        Thanks. I figured as much but didn't want the chance that it would mess shit up. I'm kinda retarded eclectically. Do you by chance know what wires are negative and positive.

          Nah, but i just rewired my late fogs on my early model and you wont harm anything if theyre switched for testing. Make sure youve got the new plugs for the late fogs. You can get them with about 10" of wire from the dealer for cheap.

            I'm also electrically retarded, but it's simple.
            Brown = ground
            Yellow(?) = power

            Just match your old fog light wires you cut to the new pigtail/connector for late model fogs.

              Mine were both black (looking?). Maybe just from dirt but im not too lazy to try one way and test, then go back and switch the wires. Maybe not kosher but it works. If yours still have color go by what AK said.
