Ok...first pic is of the harness/switch that came with my fog lights. I hooked it up according to the directions and they work fine. I was warned that if hooked up direct to the battery that the light would glow continuously, which it does. I actually unhook this lead/switch and throw it in the glove box unless I am out hunting. Plan was to buy a switch that would snap into my blank without having to do anything special. I have a one button switch now from an old 60....
Pic 1: shows the harness I got with the fog lights and the directions of how it is hooked up now. According to the way the switch is hooked up now the blue wire is going to the light, the white wire is going to the battery and the black wire is the ground.
Pic 2: this is a pic of the switch I want to use. It has a white wire with a black stripe, a solid blue wire and a wire that is blue with a red stripe. According to another post:
1) Blue with Red stripe is 'constant hot' into the switch.
2) Soild Blue is switched power to the device you are turning on when you push in the switch. In my case this was power to the light relay.
3) White with Black stripe: connected a 3rd wire here and ran it over to a good ground.
So matching that up with the directions from my wire harness I am looking at marrying them the following way
FJ60 switch / Fog light
Blue and red / White wire- since that currently reads "to the battery"
solid blue / blue wire- since that reads "to the light"
white with black stripe / black wire- since it reads to ground
This is what makes sense to me. I am not great with electrical so any input would be appreciated. If this is correct, will the FJ60 switch that I am using glow all the time or just when engaged, which is what I ultimately want?
