fog light wire colors

[panda24619]

im going to get rid of my bumper and make my own. and i like fog lights. i have these hella fog lights that were on my brush guard but the guy didnt want them. so i kept them. they are already wired 1 red and 1 black. so when i make my new bumper i was going to wire those in its place. what color is power and which is ground?

Red is positive black is ground.

on the stock fog lights? i know that on my hellas. but i guess i should look at the wiring first. just thought i would ask first.

It seems on the 2000 Expys, it's the TN/OG (tan/orange?) for +, black for -.

Regardless, you should always measure with a multimeter to verify. As a side note, the hellas are 55W, right? The stock fogs are what, 45W? I should technically be fine to run them in there straight up, though I wouldn't put anything larger than 55W in there. If you do, run a relay.

If youre just going to run the hellas thru the factory fog lamp harness, the polarity woudnt matter. You can wire them any other way
