Thread: Fogs on with High Beams, Someone School Me?

Laws are only politician scribble. I was never consulted on any of these laws, therefore I pick and choose the ones which I follow

Screwed in general, yes. LOL

I've never had issues with my HID's, fogs, window tint, lifted vehicle etc, but when I did inspections years ago, we had a lot of vehicles busted for all of the above, so it does happen here for sure.

I made a small notch near the base and wrapped it there.

It stays like that? Is there any way to solder at the base?

So far, so good. I split the wire end's strands into two bundles and tied and trimmed it tightly at the notch then cut a small piece of electrical tape to go there. That corner doesn't mash down all the way but its enough. Soldering there might melt the relay. That was the best way I could figure so it would still plug in as far as possible. Keep in mind I live in Arkansas though, ha ha.

Okay thanks for the info man I really appreciate it but I took my chances an soldered it luckily it worked. I notched the plastic a little and used as little heat as possible then the little bit of excess solder I sanded off with a dremel and it actually sits in flat and all the way. It sits flatter then the fog light relay that kinda sits lop sided from bending the tab.

Good to know that a solder joint doesn't melt the relay.

I didn't notch anything, just wrapped the wire around the pin and put the relay back in; been that way for 5 years now and all is good. I tried to solder, but I suck at soldering. LOL

To do it "properly", remove the fuse box and solder to the corresponding wires on the backside.

I just drilled a small hole in the base of each terminal, fed the wires through, twisted around the terminal, light electrical tape and reinsert.
