I have a set of Hella FF75s that I have had for awhile. I plan on installing these on my Accord...as well as a friend who is considering an 05 E! He is leaning towards getting it so, I am of course trying to get him to get it.
Anyways, some help. I need to try to find an online copy of the exact directions that came with my lights...my first quick crack online seems to have turned up older versions.
For the Fog Light pattern (not the driving pattern) of these lights, they show 2 different schematics. The first, is rather simple....the Supply line for the fog light switch gets tapped into the Low beam wire for my headlights. No problem and is legal in my state (VA). So that when the low beams switch to high, they will shut off. This schematic shows 3 light indicators which look like: low beams (2 half circles next to each other), Highs (half circle with straight lines), and a 3rd, that I am not sure of which is a Half circle with lines going down at an angle. My guess is that means the fogs?
The second diagram, shows the same supply from the switch goeing to the low beams. The difference here is that it shows what looks like the ground from the relay going to the high beam wire at the headlight. The ground from the relay in digram 1 goes to the battery ground. This schematic shows 2 light indicators which look like: low beams (2 half circles next to each other) and another of which is a Half circle with lines going down at an angle. Doesnt appear to be a ghigh beam indicator picture.
The first scehmatic seems obvious enough. But the second one is throwing me off...Im really not sure what to expect in that wiring situation. Can anyone elaborate?
As a side note. I can follow #1 easily. But what Id really like to do is have my fogs be able to come on when EITHER the parking lights or the lows are on, but turn off when the high beams are on. Would I tap into the parking lights AND the low beams? Or...just not sure.
Another note is that in VA only 2 sets of lights can be on at a time. On my accord the lows actually stay on when the highs come on (lower wattage). Thus the need to have the fogs off when the highs come on.
So I guess this is a 2 part question and one I have dragged out I will try to find the same schematic online so I can paste it here.
