    OK guys, I have mounted the Euro bumpers, the Euro grill, and my Cibies. Now, how do I hook them up to the parking light circuit so that they will run when I have my parking lights on? Thanks.

    i would suspect you are going to need to upgrade the harness, and the fuse size, as the lights are flash to pass and not fog lights. they are not meant to be on all the time, and my impression of the factory wiring on my euro car was that it would not be able to sustain the amps the lights will draw if used as fogs and left on . power comes from the forward contact on the headlight stalk. i would not touch the headlight stalk for the mod, and they are getting scare to rebuild and repair.

    I just mounted a relay above the right fuse box, took power from a feed wire b4 the fuse box & the signal voltage from the parking light fuse. The lights only draw 6 amps total I believe.

    Parking light fuses are on the right fuse block #5 and #6. Run a wire from the bottom of either of these the relay coil, the other side of the relay coil gets ground. Use a separate fuse for the fog lights to the contact on the relay and the other contact to the fog lights. The relay can be a simple $5-6 Bosch automotive type 12v SPST available at AutoZone type stores. PM if you need more info. GL
