I put the angel eye foglight in my car. Mounted everything then i found that i cant figure out how to get the wires inside the car for the switch. How can i get through the firewall?

there are lots of holes in your firewall, u just need to find them, all the wires run though holes into your interior, just use of of those

if your useing your stock holes, just use the wire from your factory fog light connector and run that into your relay signal wire... DONE, then you can use your factory switch for a clean and factory install... its 10X eaiser than what you want to do... and looks cleaner

It cant be that easy. I bought the angel eye foglights off of pfyc.com The wires from the foglight dont match up with the stock wiring harness for the original. I cant put them together i dont think. I am stuck and i have spent hours trying to figure this out. Trial and error is what i have been going by and its not working.

or you could just tap into your stok wires. that seasy. if you want a hornes just by 2 harneses. one for each side. make sure you get the male and female end. or go to a auto dealer and match up your existing harness

What he meant is that you use the wiring harness that came with your kit and the relay that came with your kit. Instead of wiring a switch inside the car use the positive wire from the original fog lights instead of the positive from the switch you would install inside the car and connect that wire (the original fog's positive wire) to the relay's trigger terminal.
That way the new fogs are fed like they're meant to be (through the relay) but you use the stock switch inside the car to turn the relay on/off. Then you have to fond some other source to control the halo light (I used the parking lights wire).

This is how most people do it to intigrate it the same as stock. If you want them to come on and function like your stock fogs then do it this way. The foglight switch will work to control the light, but you will need a seperate switch for the led ring. Unless you want it wired so it's independently controlled then just bypass everything to your own switch.
*The purple wire (not sure of the ACTUAL colour) on the diagram is the wire you will need to tap into. It it the powewire (+) for the factory fogs*

I know about all that i just want to find out how to get the wires inside past the firewall. Can someone tell me how in depth and not broad. I took off the rubber cover where all the wires are going. The metal turns so its not a straight shot. I took the panel off the bottom of the dash but i dont know what to do next. Can someone tell me exactly what to do. I would appreciate so much.

that rubber gromet that all the wires go through under the steering column... from the inside of the car, poke a hole in it with a straightened coat hanger, pull it up through the engine bay enough to tape your other wire to it (tape it good, so the wire won't catch), then pull through.
this is what I have done for the power wire to my amp, and it worked well. any questions, just ask.
