Hella DE wiring diagram...

when I installed my Hella fog 8 months ago I connected the blue wire into my Low beam light. Whenever i put on my headlights (low) the fog is also on. Now, I want to install Mr Drew remote switch. I NEED HELP in locating the +12dc source when the vehicle is in the "OFF" position. Coz now I want my fog lights "ON" anytime. PLEASE..... If you have any idea, dont hesitate to response. Thank you.

Dew, Connect them directly to the battery with in line fuse or to the Fuse box by the kick panel passenger side.

JimB, if you connect them directly to the battery - so this must be ON even when the engine is OFF, right . Or when you connect it to the fuse box then I have go thru firewall again. That is why I bought Mr. Drew `s remote switch so that I dont have to drill a hole. What do you think , JimB. You did not find any +12dc source that I could tap.

Jude, connect the wireless switch directly to the battery's positve terminal, and then ground the switch somewhere; there is a great spot just behind the pass. side headlamp. You can then wire the foglamps to the wireless switch's wires, as per the instructions. I just installed new foglamps myself as well:

RE: What you do....

Mr. Drew, before I got your remote switch this is how I did to my Hella fog. I connected it to the low beam, so everytime the low beam is "ON" the foglights is also ON. But lately, my 20A fuse keeps on busting out. My primary concern now, instead of connecting the blue to the low beam where should I tap this wire to your remote switch to power it on.
