Response to O/T Trying to avoid "voiding" my warranty

Cliff If you car is FULLY LOADED, the wiring for the fog lights should be taped up in the front end of the car. They do this on top of the line GM products. The connections need to be weatherproof. The connection for the switch would be still behind the dash. The big 3 are starting to go after any person who has modified,added, changed, or removed any part on your car that was or was not there when the car came off the assembly line. I have seen numberous cars and trucks damaged from people installing after market parts and kits on the cars and trucks. I will give you 2 quick add ons. High powered headlight after market bulbs with over 55watt light limit. They draw too much ampage and melt the sockets, headlamp lens get smoked, and even a couple of fires. The big thing is anyone running a BULLYDOG or anone elses after market tuner on a diesel. The big 3 have sent out bulletins on TOTAL and COMPLETE VOID of the drivetrain warranties. For GM you now have to give and down load all the software to GM BEFORE any motor or trans work is none under warranty coverage. Any soft ware downloads can't be erased once programed into the ECU. They store 10 downloads and are burned into the chips. Anyone with an after market kit in the car or truck on new products had better buy a seperate ECU to protect their warranty of there drive train
Cliff find a mechanic at the Ford store and get the wiring diagram for fog lights. You will need a relay, fuse, switch and the 2 light assemblies for your car. If the wiring is under the car and taped up, install the lights, if not get a go after market kit. Adding this will not effect your emmissions in any way. This should be covered for 7/70 years.
