				Proper wiring for fog lights
			 
			
			I’m doing some wiring clean-up in my frunk and under my dash. The fog lights look like they were a DIY project. I might decide to just eliminate the lights, but if I decide to keep them or replace them, I’d like to know the wiring is correct and safe.  
		
	
		
	
			
				Whoever installed these lights used a relay (good), but the switch in the dash switches the ground, rather than the positive connection. Is that normal/best practice?  |

			It is wired like a horn relay with the signal to ground. 
		
	
		
	
			
			
				
					I do not know if that is a good practice or not. It is not an original installation. The original installation uses a relay to turn off the fog lights if the high beams are used. Last edited by donporfi; 06-01-2020 at 12:35 PM..  |
