Then put the lights on the mounts, run the wires between the bumper and grill, and run them to the factory fog light wire. And make sure you know that on the factory fog light wires, the green is ground and black is positive! Hope that helped

That does help!- I would have thought black to be ground. I'm gonna have to try pilot holes and self tapping metal screws for the bumper mounting. Wish me luck. One last question- did you have to extend the wires or do they reach up through the bumper as is?

Have the walmart lights and love them. I aimed them between my highs and lows so when im city driving there is enough ambient light to get away with out them but on side or back roads I turn them on. They arent even the baja ones . The super cheapies

Good question. They come with a bracket that allows you to aim them. I used my garage door to aim them. Just turned them on and moved them to where I wanted them aka between the highs and lows and aimed wider

I was always told that you had to go to a garage and have it hooked up to some machine?

I don't have a garage door.. just a driveway facing the woods, lol.

Maybe thats for the head lights?

But for aftermaket drive, fog or spot. You can use a wall or dirtpile. Anything that will be close and you can point your nose to

My 89 did not have factory fog lights, but I was wondering if there is factory wires hidden in the grill that I can use?

That's how I did mine. Pretty simple install.

Did you use the factory wiring to put these up? I am desperately trying to get some more light. Got my fogs working by replacing switch would like to replace the lights now but am hoping to use the same wiring, thanks.
