Hey all, I ordered a set of Spec-D OEM fog lights for my '02 Ram a couple weeks ago. Upon arrival I noticed that it was missing the bezels and the mounting screws/bolts. I called Autoanything and they said they would contact the manufacturer. A week later (today) they finally told me they have the parts on the way.

Did I mention the kit also didn't come with instructions? I am as newbie as it comes with electrical work, although I did get a pair of offroad lights installed a couple weeks ago. So I was looking at the fog lights to make sure everything makes sense, and I can figure out everything except where one wire should go. Starting from the switch to turn them on/off:

-On/off switch in cab
--> Plug-in, with 3 wires heading toward light harness
---> White wire leads to the light harness
---> Black wire is a ground
---> Red wire that has just a bare end on it

The red wire is what I can't figure out where it should go. The light harness has a wire to go to the battery, and a ground wire. Where is this wire supposed to go?

Also, an issue I had while installing my offroad lights was I could not find a way through the firewall. I worked around it by just routing the wire in through the door but I don't want a bunch of wires doing that. Is there somewhere that I missed? I looked for a good 30 minutes and could not find any way through. I would like to at least run the fog light wires the correct way.

Anyone able to help with either of my questions?

After a little more research, I'm thinking that wire is for if you want to splice into the high beam wire. I want the fog lights to be totally independent so it should be ok to just leave that wire unhooked right?

idk man all I can do is give you a free bump

Alright I finally received my bezels today and attempted the install tonight. I wired everything up, leaving the red wire unconnected, since I want the fog lights to be independent of other lights if I can. I turned them on and neither light came on. So I spliced the red wire into my parking lamp wire, thinking it must require that if it didn't work before. But still nothing happens when I hit the switch. I know my grounds are good since I am already using both grounds for other lights and they work fine. I connected to the battery with the red wire from the relay. It already has a fuse in the wire as well, so everything should be working but it's not. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong? I'm never buying Spec-D anything ever again. They didn't even give instructions and I can't find instructions online either.

If no one can help I'm just going to wire them like I wired my driving lights, with no switch and just spliced into my parking lights. I just need to buy another relay.

Alright I'm just gonna attempt to wire them my own way tonight. I bought a 4-prong 30 amp 12 volt relay today to use. Should that work? I'm just going to ground each light, run both power wires to the relay, run a ground from the relay, run a wire to the battery from the relay and run a splice into my parking lamps from the relay. That is the same setup I used for my driving lights except I spliced into my high beams for them, and they work fine.

go to specdtuning.com there is an in depth installation guide. http://www.specdtuning.com/installation-instruction.html#Dodge
just click on the link and then click on the specific year and you can see how exactly to do it. i think you may have to undo the regular wires that dont plug and play and do what the guide says. hope you can get it done, and hope to see pictures.

please add to rep.
