Only the driver side harness needs to be ex - tended. Cut both fog lamp wires 4-6” in from the plug on driver side. Strip ¼” of insulation from each wire, both at the harness end and the plug end. Use the supplied wires and crimp type butt connectors to extend the fog lamp har - ness. Cover the extension with the corrugated wire loom provided.
