How hard are 914 fogs to wire? Options

[Larmo63]

I know the cars come pre-wired, I now have stock fogs installed on my '73 1.7L, and have a few questions. Should the wires on the front be wired all the way into to foglight bodies? What the factory left is still there, including the rubber grommets so do they wire right through, or should I make connections with the wires coming out of my lights? (does that make sense?) Are all of the correct wires just ready for plug in above the fuse box? My car hasn't been fiddled with, so I have no doubt they will still be there. I bought the bypass wiring kit on eBay so that the fogs will work on the flasher and independently of the headlight switch. Anybody here have comments on that mod? Thanks ahead of time!

1973 914: What wires am I looking for coming out of the wiring harness under the dash and where/what do they hook up to? The front wiring was pretty straightforward and obvious.

Wire colors? Wire locations? I don't have the extra mod yet , but I'd to have the fogs come on by the foglight switch only for now. Sorry for all the silly questions. Before I tear into it, I'd like this to be clear.

I'm printing out the wiring diagram as we speak, but any help, helps!

In my '76 I found the appropriate colored wires and a hole for the switch under the dash. I just plugged them into the switch.

Up front I goofed and accidentally wired my new lights to wiring provided for an optional second horn. But then I found the correct wires, and again no crimps, just plug. I did have to cut into the rubber bumper to mount the lights though.

I also found that since the headlight relay will not work with the key off, I wanted the fog lights to be the same, but on when the lights are off. I found a fuse that was key switched and used this to go to the switch activating the fog light relay, moving the wires from the headlight and over to the switched fuse. Then if the key is on the fog lights come on when I pull the green switch. If I forget to turn them off, they turn themselves on when I turn off the motor.

You actually got both information and attitude. This is by far the most well moderator community I live with. Might hold off on making a judgement till a couple of questions in. These guys have gone the extra mile for me time after time, and they know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
