Fog Light Install Help
I am trying to install fogs in my clk and I am having trouble getting the wires through the firewall. Any tips on how to get it through and where to connect the power wires since the battery is in the trunk? I found a place under the steering wheel where a bunch of wires looked like they were going through the firewall and I used a hanger to force it through but I couldnt find where it came out on the other side. Any help? Thanks in advance.

Because these fog lights have angel eyes that I want to be able to turn on or off seperately.

You should use the factory foglight connection for the foglight portion of the foglights and only run the cable for the Angels eyes. On the left side of the firewall (near the fuse box) there's a rubber grommet that can be pulled out that will give you access the interior of the car.

Once again, Josh saves the day, thanks! I assume the wires will come out from under the carpet below the odometer.

hey josh....what did you do with the lights on the side of the bumper since the RS kit doesnt have a place for them? is it possible to connect them to power up the angel eye part of the fog light??? or is the load so far off that it would trigger the sensor?

anyone else with experience, chime in please....thanks inadvance

George
