So i'm in the process of fitting lights into the useless flash to pass lense so i can illuminate the road more. So my question was how to do wire the FTPs to come on at the same time i flip up my headlights exactly like the japanese FCs. Could i splice into front markers without blowing a fuse? any suggestions? thanx in advance

i have jdm flash to pass lights in my s5, i removed the fog lights and wired the ftp lights to the fog lamp harness. for a s4 that wouldnt help but maybe wire the bulbs to the emumination switch?

Use a relay and tap into an illumination wire?

Use these, If you try to make them yourself you will see the bulb. They are jdm ftp's.http://members.cox.net/tylermovie/SALE/jdmftp2.JPG

yeah i'd use those jdm ftps but they're pretty pricey to buy.. i think i founf some at corksport for 180.. i'm just following a write up done by someone on the rx7club forum.but in his write up he uses a seperate switch where as i want to eliminate that. thanx for the suggestion tho

those are not going to put out any light for the road, they will be more for looks then anything.

With no reflector in there it is going to be like having a light bulb behind the bumper. Even the JDM ones are really low watt bulbs.

Yah, just a little wedge bulb, like a turn signal. But the facets on the jdms lenses make it look lit up.
