Angel Eyes Wiring

Post by Eltnot »

I'm going to be installing my angel eyes tomorrow. I'm just wondering how everyone else wired theirs up.

Did you run it to a switch inside or to the parkers?
If you used the parkers, which wires do I need to connect them to.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Not done it myself, but personally I'd run them to the foglights and splice them into that wire. That way the eyes can be switched on/off by using the foglight switch, rather than always coming on with the parkers. Or if you don't mind that, then splice them to the parkers.

Either way would be much easier than running a wire into the cabin!

I was planning on running them to the parkers. Hadn't thought about fogs, might do that instead. Just have to work out which wires are my fogs...

the easiest way is probably to run the to your fog lights, since that way you'll have a switch for them ;)
as to finding out which wiring is for your fog light... it shouldn't be too hard, and since the lights are close by anyway, it's not like you have to trace it back or anything.

I know some ppl are anal enough to run the seperate wiring for them with a seperate switch but... i think that's too much effort vs gain :)

with that said, you know the stab in the dark game is much more fun anyway lol

There's potential for a thread about anything on FTO Australia

Found the guide on Complete FTO.

I'm going to leave it for another weekend I think. Too much else to do as it is. Plus that'll give me a chance to grab a multimeter which will make things easier.

At least I know how to pull off my front bar now and so know what's involved.
