JDM Bumper Fog light bulb(Finished With Pictures)

Saskatoon Subaru · Post by **Saskatoon Subaru** » Sat Jan 19, 2008 8:31 pm

Ok, so this car of mine was in a crash before i bought it whatever, now the bumper was replaced with what i believe is a jdm Legacy RS bumper not available to USDM,

now the fog lights are there but were never hooked up. i went to test the lights to make sure they work'd before i wired them in, and well one's burnt out.

So Now for my question, Where can a get a replacement bulb for these fog lights? Thanks in advance

Take the bulb to the auto parts store and get a replacement. If I had to guess randomly, I'd say it's likely an H3 bulb.

thats what i was plain on doing but, you can just remove the bulb it's like the bulb itself is wired in, hard to explain i'll try to take a pic.

Its just an H3 bulb thats wired through the rubber boot on the back. The bulb itself is just held in by a spring clip. Its real easy to change.

The wire is actually part of the H3 bulb.

Correct, but I figured once he saw the bulb he would figure it out

ok thanks for everyone's help fog lights are hooked up and working.

To do this project i used a wiring diagram found in another thread made my smh0101 here it is

well this was very helpful i did find a few things wrong, or maybe just didn't work with my set up 86 on the relay should goto switch 85 to ground. Pin #3 is accessory in, Pin #2 Ground, Pin #6 To Relay
With those 3 hooked up switch turns on lights, and lights the light on the switch

like this

now heres what she looks like
Lights off

Fog Lights On

All lights on

i'll take some night pics when it gets dark.

This is my 90 leg, is this the bumper on ur car?

asc_up · Post by **asc_up** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 1:52 pm

That's basically what mine (91 SS) looks like.

That's what my bumper looks like (the OP's bumper), though sans foglights.

I haven't ever seen a set for that style front end for sale. I was beginning to wonder if they ever made them......

yeah if your car is 90-91, good luck finding fogs for them.

i'l gladly show you how i wired mine, i dont understand how other people did theirs with the relays and other unnecessary business

hate to burst your bubble, but relay's arn't unnecessary, most switches arn't meant to handle the electrical load.
