Since my Legacy did not have factory fog lights What do I need other then a fog light switch?

A relay, if you don't already have one there from the factory.

Nice find. You beat to 'em.

yeah sorta how I found my JDM headlights it was listed under something else..

So if I had a relay I'd guess it would be someplace under the dash?

If not i have some spares on hand.

It would probably be easier to find someone w/ them or go to the salvage yard and copy the wiring.

I can make the harness with the relay I was just curious I will check today.

Another question.. I just checked under my car real quick but I would guess if I had a fog light ready car the harness plug would be right behind the covers? I don't see any so I would have to run all new wires right?

I don't know if I have a fog relay I have my doubts but I can always be hopeful.

edit what little I could get from the search I don't have any wires already..

my issues is going to be with the relay and how to tap something.. the DIY here on the JDM fogs for the BD he tapped into the parking light however my front parking lights don't want to work but the turn signal does :-/

I still can't figure out what is wrong with it..

I have someone from the USMB that might be able to sell me the 95 Legacy fog light relay as well as the harness also includes the directions as well

tell ya what i did. i had a spare relay/switch from an aftermarket set and used that because i didn't want to figure out all the wiring in the dash, WAY too lazy for that. i wired it up so the fogs would turn off with the car so it looks stock, but i have the switch so i have to choice to have them on or off when the car is running. took off the bumper cover and cut out the fog light holes. you'll probably have a big white fiberglass-like bumper absorber thinger under some styrofoam all connected to the bumper support. there should be some halfway pre-drilled holes for the fogs in the fiberglass, just drill out the rest of the way. measure and get the necessary hardware to mount the fogs. connect the wires to the relay/switch. test it before putting it all back together, then put it back together and enjoy. took me like 3 hours because i guess i suck at measuring..... but if you could get the stock relay and harness that would be way easier! i honestly have no idea where the harness plug would be, gotta be somewhere in the dash tho

I could do it that way.. I have a PIAA switch on the dash with velco that the last owner had and the wires are already ran to the front but I hate it because it's not "factory" looking. I might use the switch for something else but not sure yet..
