I finally got time to install my fog harness this weekend; Projectors from 1stvwparts.com, grills from a member of the 'tex, relay harness from ECS Tuning, and a custom ground reed relay circuit to fire it I made based on W12's instructions.
Once I got the battery out, I couldn't get to the rubber grommets on the firewall, so I tried pulling the battery tray out. What a pain!! Ended up removing the air filter and tilting everything forward - still didn't get enough access to get a hand back there though. I pushed a wire from under the dash through the rubber membrane, into the engine compartment; then fished the trigger wire back that way. But I didn't like having to poke through the membrane in this fashion.
Anyone else have to pull the battery tray out? If so, how did you do it? Does the air box come apart from the tray??
BTW- the fogs work great! Apart from revamping the harness, the only tough part is just working around inside the VERY cramped compartment of this platform. Got a few bloody knuckles for all the effort.
