Fogs with brights
Hey guys,
I know I've seen this thread b4, but the search function isn't helping and the links in the Super Duty tech folder aren't working.
So can anybody give me a quick rundown to keep the fogs on with the high beams? I know you ground one of the wires under the dash by the fuse panel, but I don't wanna cut the wrong one.
Thanks

Those connectors are crap. I seriously doubt he will have a fire (I was exaggerating) but he WILL have electrical problems down the road. Those T-taps end up cutting through the wire after time.

You solder barrel connectors on?? WTF, Why would you do that. Barrels are better than T-taps, but arent meant to be soldered and can come apart fairly easy. The ONLY right way to do it in my professional opinion is to twist the wires together (there are several types of twists) and solder them. When you do a twist the RIGHT way and solder it, it is about twice as strong as the wire it's self. This is due to the thatched effect the joint has.

I have a hot/cold method that has worked for decades, never had a pull out. It has a far smaller size impact that weaving (excellent method when you have room though). I do a lot of straight-run soldering where there isn't room for a bend in the wire. Plus I can make it watertight.
