Re: 1990 fog lights
Thanks for posting those for me Jeff.
The fogs need ballasts (included). That is my patent pending installation tool for 90's. The 90's do not have the drop down door. When I installed the fog lights, you could barely tell when I turned on the Sylvania's. I had/have Hella housings for H4 headlight bulbs. The LED's fit right in. I dabbed a bit of silicon on some of the holes, as the dust covers won't go back on. Looking around the housings and buckets, it didn't look like dust or water was going to be a major concern. I'll continue with the thread after I get the resistors to see if that fixes the high beam issue. Did I mention that the fog lights and high beams are not cooperating? |

Re: 1990 fog lights
I have a fix I need to test out for the fog light/ High beam..
the 1990 should have a relay under the Pass side hush panel.. after finding that relay and using a Standard Automotive 5 terminal relay New relay will have 5 terminals 85 - Coil 86 - Coil 30 - common for switch 87 - N.O. Contact 87a - N.C. Contact One added relay:
I am looking at a 1991 page on the Service manual, so the 1990 might be different since 90 is a very odd set-up. This should allow the Fog Lights to work as they were with OEM lighting.. My next challenge is to get front Parking/Turn LEDs to work when parking lights are on, without using Resistors

Re: 1990 fog lights
Jeff, so will this relay replace the original?

Re: 1990 fog lights
No it is an addition to what is there. Like I said I have not tried it yet, but theoretically is should work

Re: 1990 fog lights
Do you not like the idea of the resistors?

Re: 1990 fog lights
I don't. They get hot and if I am going to LED or anything new, I would rather find another way than add Resistors.. You can use them, there is no problem, I just prefer not to if I can help it
