FRS fogs using BRZ stalk

Alright guys! So I'm going to do the best I can but I am using my phone so bare with me! Also if you have questions or need clarification please feel free to ask.

Ok so start off, I'm not going to show how to install the fogs since there are multiple threads about it. This is a good one to use, just watch his second video.

The other parts I ordered besides bezels were and fogs themselves were:
X2 h11 pigtails for the bulbs

Nokya 2500k yellow bulbs
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001587GVM/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1361211511&sr=8-2&pi=SL75"]9006 Hb4 Nokya 2500k Hyper Yellow Head/fog Light Bulbs:Amazon:Automotive[/ame]

As for the little connectors and what not I will take pictures of that later. Also I used a size 20 fuse.

Install:

So the steering wheel must come off in order to put the stalk on. It has to go over the column and it sits flush with your other stalk. Once you have the wheel removed just unplug the harness from the stalk and remove it. Replace it with the new stalk and plug the harness back in.


I don't have pictures at the moment but will take some when I get out of work. We made our own wiring from the pigtails I previously provided. We designated a side and made that "power" and the other "ground". The power is red and the black is ground. Later on you may notice it isn't the case but it was because we ran out of red wire while trouble shooting. Once the harness was made we ran the passenger side above the radiator to the drivers side and then both up the fender to the area where the main harness goes into the vehicle just bellow the hydraulic steering.

We also ran a power wire from the battery with an inline fuse following the firewall to the same location as the fog wires. We did this mostly to be safe and while trouble shooting we blew most of my fuses in the beginning.



Once you have the wires inside the vehicle, should be above and to the left of your clutch pedal or dead pedal, you are ready to wire up.



Now I suggest taking off that "kick panel" that your trunk release and dimmer switch are to make life easier. So what you are going to be looking for is pin 24 on plug D5. The easiest way to explain this is there are only 2 wires on that row and its the white one. So what we didn't realize was this wire is not a "power" wire. It is only hot when the "ground" is completed. So the best way to do this is connect the two black wires we made earlier (grounds) to each other leaving enough wiring extended to connect to pin 24, the white wire.

Once that is done connect the two red together and connect them to the power wire we ran from the battery. It should end up something like this.



Once it is all wired in you can test it out. At this point I had my steering wheel back on so I didn't get an airbag error. The fog light switch will turn on your fogs no matter what lights you have on if any at all. A cool thing is if you turn the headlights on there is a fog indicator in the gauge cluster that is now enabled because of the module on the stalk itself.





Once it all works put it back together and you should be good. Also, if someone with a BRZ or JDM/Euro GT86 can confirm, do y'all's fogs only come on with the headlights or can you turn them on whenever and that indicator still comes on?

If I forgot anything, please tell me so I can add it or clear it up!
