95 Talon to 97-99 Eclipse conversion. Question about fog lights.

[EclipseGSX012]

Hey guys,

I try to search and i couldn't find the information that i needed so here it is. My car is 95 talon with 97-99 Eclipse conversion and i just purchased the 97-99 fog lights so could i just hook it up to the 95 fog light connector or change the connector to different ones?

Thanks

Well, without seeing the connectors i couldnt tell you. But you also have 2 other options (and im sure endless more). You can hardwire them in, which woudlnt be ideal due to every DSMer taking their bumper off for a reaosn or no reason at least once a month. Or add Butt connectors, the connectors that slide into each other. The second would probobally be your best bet. That is granted the stock connectors wont work. But isnt it just a bulb that connects into the housing? If so that just negates my entire post and just solder it in. Sorry, i was thinking as i was typing and more came. Good luck man!

What I did was cut the connector off the 95 fog's as they were pooched anyways. The 97-98 eclipse lights use a different connector. I then spliced in the 95 connector to the new fogs.

When i took my fog lights out of my 95 talon to replace my bulb, i noticed the connectors to be in horrible shape. No autoparts store sells these, neither does the dealer. SO...... I hardwired them. You probably already know but just incase, when doing so use wire nuts and wrap them really good in electrical tape because water touching the wires would equal bad things for you. So this should be a simple solution to your problem

dont use wire nuts....put heat shrink on one side of the wire, solder it, then slide the heat shrink over it and shrink...believe me..

What size bolt or the plastic thing do i have to use to install the fog lights?
