they are 20$ jobs from walmart. they fit like they were made for the bumper. there just shoved in there. nothing holding them in. its a tight fit. hydras right about needing a relay,if there left on for awhile you can smell "warm plastic". i usaully do put relays on all lights and fans,was just lazy on those. there great for when people behind have there brights on. one (quick)flash of those and they turn theres off(just dont blind anybody).also handy for loading trailer,or backing up.

ive thought before about starting a post telling everybody what a nice fit they were,and that everybody should have them.

you do have to remove reflector first.. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

hey hydra post the schematic for relay wiring,ive had to google that a bunch of times.

i think its an endevour worth pursueing...dont know how to spell that one.

you could even relay to existing reverse lights so they would be automatic,and add a manual on.


now back to my search for a dukes of hazzard air horn.. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> and a cousin who looks like daisy!!

Thanks Blitz, going to check those out this weekend <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Way too cool!
First time I saw the reflectors on my Sporty, I knew that there would be a light in that location someday. I didn't think that somebody would have done it before me.

It's nice to get all this information flooding in lately.

My fellow Sportage lovers:
If you have custom modifications to your Sportys, don't be afraid to post your pics and information. No matter how small or unimportant you might think it is. Most of us have probrably thought about it or didn't have any clue how it would work.
It's little things like backup lights that make all the difference in the world between your Sporty and just another Sportage on the road.

It already has been done before (the functioning extra break lights) as Logan said before....But I do like the fog light project!

Will send you the rlay stuff prolly tomorrow.....Google played no part in aiding me for my 6 AUX lights that I currently run (4 on yakima rack and 2 on grill) <actually Dennis advised me to run relays...cause I smelled smoke>.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

And Like Rick said: Please give us more info so we can prolly try this!

Thanks,

About 2 years ago, I bought the cheapest plastic rectangular fog lights from Harbor Freight for about $8.00 a set. Ran a heavy wire from the battery back to the rear jack compartment, then installed the relay that is triggered by the reverse lights. Held the lights (after cutting hem up to make them fit) in place with black silicone sealer and aimed them when the sealer was about 75% set.
Haven't fallen out yet and works great!

did you put the relay in the rear jack compartment. (i think thats what you said)if so, that is a good idea. completley out of the elements.ive had the harbour frieght cheapies. i like the walmart cheapies a little better. there 20 though.
the length of the wire from bat. to rear bumper is the besat reason to run a relay. i really like illuminated rocker switches also,because i am a dumb*ss and will leave them on every time i use them. many times ive noticed the light and been saved. and many times i havent and been screwed anyway.
i cant beleive everet was holdin out on us on this mod...2years! when was you gonna tell us? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

another option blitz would be to wire it off of an ignition source for your rocker switch to the relay, that way you cant accidentally leave them on when the vehicle is not running, or atleast turned to ignition with the key.
that what i had done with my switch for my compressor for the air ride in my car, that way if there was enough of a pressure drop in the system over night or it sat for a few days/weeks, the compressor would not just turn on at will and kill my battery.

They make an adaptor that allows you to slip a connection in the fuse relay box, such as the radio/cigar fuse.. That's basically your "Acc" ignition circuit. So you don't have to dig for the right wire. just make sure you use the right side of the fuse. I did something similiar. I hooked up a LED lighted switch coming from the battery (fused) that goes TO the radio/cig fuse. By doing this I can override power to my radio and pwr outlets front and rear without having to leave my key in the ignition. so if I want to leave the radio on in the driveway I don't have to worry about someone stealing my car.
Also, I did an "F.U. back off" light as I call it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Although I just joke about it being called that. But I'm not saying I wouldn't use it on buttholes that follow with highbeams.. I have mine mounted higher up though. Mine's mounted on the top bar of the spare tire arm along with my CB antenna. Unfortunately, I did a temp cheapie job: it's directly connected to the LR back up light and so it's dull and I can't switch it on when I'm going down the hwy. I was going to put a relay and switch on it, but I didn't have enough wire to run the length of the car nor the relay. But I will this spring
