I dont own the Fog lights yet, but I need to know what size bulb is in the stock LT model fog lights.

I plan on installing them soon on my LT, by way of severing the side marker lights and attaching the fog lights there so they will come on with the parking lights. Front markers will be tied into the front turn signals, and all light bulbs will be LEDs so I shouldnt have any amperage issues.

Thanks for all the help.

H11 in the SS. Check your owners book towards the back to be sure.

I would not power the fog lamps directly off of the marker lights. fog lamps pull alot more amps than the marker bulb. I would install a relay that would be controled by the marker lamps but the relay would carry the load of the fog lamps. relays are not hard to install just a few extra wires then you would still be able to keep you marker light as well as fog lamps.

Thank you both for your help.

Since I am going to use an LED H11 bulb that only draws 65 mA I would hope I wont run into any problems with current draw running them solely off of the side marker light wiring and no other bulbs off of it considering the incandecent side marker bulbs pull 300 mA.

Also the replacement LED turnsignal bulbs draw 115mA, that along with the 26ma of the side marker LED bulb I hope will also be safe enough to run off of the turn signal wiring, considering the original incandecents pull 2.1 amps.

Does this sound safe to you?

if you are only using led bulbs should work fine as long as somone don't change bulbs in the fog lamps later in life.

Good point, so, how would you hook it up with relays?

I have never done that before. Do you have any good recommendations for websites or manuals where i could read more about it and learn before jumping in over my head?

I am pretty mechanically inclined since i have been an aircraft mechanic for almost 20 years, and think that it shouldnt be to tough for me to learn. I already know the golden rule of RESPECTING electricity because as soon as you dont it WILL bite you. Learned that as a TIG welder. LOL
