Anyone good with electrical wiring?

[L-Spec]

Ok, so I'm a complete noob when it comes to this stuff, so here's what happened:

The last owner of the car blew out the entire foglight wiring, so instead of re-wiring the whole thing, I decided to connect the wires from my foglights onto my ambers. Sweet! So, they work! ..or do they? I think I blew a fuse or some jazz like that, so would a fuse that can handle more solve the problem or am I way off? My ambers don't even turn on now haha, but it has happened before, so I know what to do to fix it.. but how can I keep it from not happening again? Thanks!

May have fried some wiring... Heres what you need to do... Get your ambers working again without the foglights connected to them. Then, use a relay switch. All it will do is make a connection when it recieves signal. So you will run a power wire (probably be ok with 14 gauge) from your battery to your relay. Then from the relay to the foglights... Have the relays signal wire tap into the power wire for your ambers. Then, once your ambers kick on it'll tell that relay to complete the connection and draw power straight from the battery to your foglights. Oh yeah, it probably wouldn't hurt to throw an inline fuse in the power wire between the battery and the relay.

I'm sure you blew the fuse. I did that about 2 weeks ago seeing if the foglights I bought worked. Hooked up to the ambers and blew the fuse.

You could always just have a switch inside connected to a good + connection with ignition. The just run the wiring from the foglights to the switch and wah-la. All good. And of course, you need a fuse. Can use an inline or set one up in the fise box.
