aftermarket fog lights - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #72830 4 posts Started by deep_jewel_green
does anyone have some knowledge on installing the aftermarket fog lights? my celi already came with a pair of PIAA aftermarket fog lights but the thing is that they don't light up. i checked all of the for blown fuses in the engine bay and in the cockpit but they all seem fine. I would very much like to get these fog lights to work! can any one point me in the right direction in diagnosing the problem??

they look like they're on but its really the flash form my camera.




idk much about electrics but i'm assuming this is ground for the fog lights??? and yes... those wires are connected to the fog lights.


this also runs to the fog lights...




I have a feeling that a fuse should be placed in there?? (please excuse my lack of knowledge regarding electricity)


more wires running from the fog lights to the battery posts


the red and black wires run from the fog lights to the firewall


and finally... the PIAA ON/OFF switch.


where should I start?

You're missing that fuse. Also, I can't tell all that well since it's not in focus, but the connection at the battery terminal seems shaky. Definitely start with the fuse though, that could be your sole problem.

check the grounds too, where its grounded to the rad support it looks like its grounded to painted metal. try scratching the paint off under the ground if the fuse doesnt fix it

Go to your auto parts store & see if they have those lights, & ask what fuse to get for yours.

Too high amperage fuse will not be good! The worst is melting //burning wires. Too low & it'll blow.
