Hey folks! Tried doing a search, but to no avail; didn't really answer my question. Anyhoo, I've got PIAA 520s hooked up to the PIAA light switch, but I just got a hold of a factory fog light switch and wanted to change from the PIAA to the factory one, but the wiring was soldered to the circuit board on the PIAA whereas the factory switch has the prongs.

My question... do I have to break the solder and solder them onto the factory prongs? Or is there another way? There are 3 wires on the PIAAs: red, black, white. Which is which? (I had someone else install these lights and I can't get a hold of the guy.)

On the OEM switch the top prong goes to ground, the middle prong goes to the relay and the bottom prong goes to the 12V power source. Just look at where your red white and black go and wire them up to the new switch accordingly. Piece of cake.

Thanks! So should I just solder the wires to the prongs then? Or should I solder them onto connectors to go into the prongs?

cool. i've got the factory fogs switch, but lost the fog lights due to the TJM. i like that i can hook up my upcoming hellas to that same switch.

Just get some wire stripper/pliers and strip the wires, insert them into a 14-18 connector prong(I think that is the size, but you can eyeball it), mash them in there and clip them onto the prongs on the back of the OEM switch like I said above. No need for all that soldering stuff in my opinion.

...and you'll never know if you want to switch out lights or something like that.
