1968 fog light install wiring confusing...

IF...and I say that again...IF... it's like my 66 then you have to:

INSIDE THE CAR:
put your circuit breaker on the back of the wiper moter. You need to locate your constant 12 volt power supply and your aux power. A multimeter will help that if you haven't done that already.


you have to find the thick black wire (I think with the orange strip...your instructions should say which) and that's what you use the tap on with the pliers. You can get on your back and find it, but it's much easier and more comfortable to remove the instrument cluster because you get easier access.

My 66 has a connector (yellow wire, black wire, and one that escapes me at the moment) in the harness that allows the tail lights to automatically come on when the fog lights are on. Once again, not sure if you 68 is the same way or not. I don't think that it's a requirement to hook tailight part so your foglights work.

OUTSIDE THE CAR:
Your foglight connectors probably are the right ones if you bought a kit. There are two connectors coming out of each foglight. One is for a ground and one is for the power. If you look in your kit, I bet you will find a couple of ground wires (black) that you plug in. one for each light. Plug one in each light and find a good ground. Then take the grey wire is for your power. It will run from the left light to the right light and then to the firewall and inside the car.

Hope this helps.

I did this from memory so somethings might not be accurate but once you get started you will see how things work.
