2. Use a knife and cut the bars out from the fog light holes; you may have to file down the edges,
3. Three clips and three screws are used to hold each fog light. Place the clips on the two tabs above the fog light opening (see picture 1). The third clip goes on the bottom of the fog light (see picture 2). First place the fog light in the hole and screw in the bottom of the fog light.

3. Run the short red driver side wire through the hole behind the headlight and down to the fog light.
4. Run the long red passenger side wire over the radiator through the hole behind the passenger side head light and down to the fog light
5. Plug in each red wire to fog light bulb socket.

ground on the battery.
Wiring in the passenger compartment:
1. Run the blue wire attached to the relay socket through the fire wall into the passenger compartment. In automatics the hole in the fire wall is about a foot above where the steering column passes through the fire wall. On Sspds you will have to run the blue wire through an existing rubber grommet on the drivers side near the top of the firewall.
2. Put a hole through the small rubber plug(for automatics) or gromrnet(for Sspds) very carefully.
3. Run the blue wire through the hole.
4. To remove the bucket under the arm rest, pull up on the two front rubber tabs.
5. Underneath the tabs, there will be two screws you must remove, (see picture)
6. Pull the bucket out; It's in tight, pull hard.
7. Remove the ashtray or cup holders which are next to the parking brake. They will pop out easily.
8. Remove the black insert where the fog light switch goes by pushing up from underneath and prying with a screw driver (wrapped in a rag).

You may wire your fog lights independently so that you will only need the key in for fog light operation. You do not
need a convertible in order to do this.
Additional steps for wiring the fog lights independent of the headlights(additionai parts required):
1. Locate convertible wiring harness. It has three wires; the socket looks just like the fog light harnesses' socket. See below for a picture of the convertible wiring harness.
2. Slide the middle wire of the convertible harness through the wire tap.
3. Cut the wire of pin 4 on the fog light switch harness; it is brown.
4. Insert the wire from pin 4 into the other side of the wire tap; it has a dead end.
5. Push down the metal piece in the wire tap with pliers to splice the wires.
6. Close the wire tap cover firmly and completely.
7. Reinstall all components properly.
8. The foq liqhts will only work when the key is in RUN or ON position.

1. Grasp bulb. Turn bulb very carefully counter clockwise.
