fog lights...?

ok i have my first seven, and working on putting all the interior in (got it stripped except dash and seats) when removed dash a couple wires that i followed back were cut.... when i was initially testing out every button on dash i found that i couldnt turn on my secondary lights for more than a moment.... whats could this be? how do you do it just so i can figure out if it IS the wiring or not....

So what wires where cut?
Are you talking about the headlights or the fog lights?

This is my second FC. It was gutted out I only had the seats and front dashboard. But anyways the wires was cut for my fog lights. It had power to the outside wires, but not the the inside wires. So I just made a individual wire for my fog lights to the switch.

those are FTPs, (Flash To Pass Lens). unless its the jdm ftps, they dont light up. they are just lens with no light bulb in them. when you high beam with your headlights down, the light from the high beam will shine through those lens

You flash your bright with the headlight off. They're for daytime use. You can't leave them on, since they are just clear lenses with on actual bulb in them.

eh most of us are noobs in some way. FC's are goofy *** cars that take a lot of time to get to know, just keep tinkering and reading and things should become much clearer.
