    Default Adding fog lights, need help locating replacment fog light bulb sockets

    Got fog lights for my 2.0T, came with bulbs but no male socket to plug in to female socket bulbs. I'm in south florida and does anyone know besides the light bulb manufactures where I would get the receiving male end sockets? Dealer only sells the complete wire harness for about $300. It's a universal #881 light bulb. Every auto store locally carries the light bulb, none carries the male end of the socket with wires?

    PS C.A.Imports didn't have the male sockets either when I called.

    You can check O'ReillyAutoParts.com and look for Part Number: 85855.
    This is the only place I have been able to find them but they must be available elsewhere. I don't know if I can say this but at the other GenCoupe forum there is a DIY. I didn't use it because I found it after I installed my lights but it looks better than what I did. Good Luck.

    Default parts list

    Boyfreind does the electric work. But here is what he ordered.

    Parts list.
    GM / Delphi Sealed Fuse ATO Holder Cap Only, Metripack 630, black
    GM Delphi / Packard - 1-way 16-14 gauge Female Terminal
    GM Delphi / Packard - 2 way Metripack 280 female connector Assembly for 880, 881
    GM Delphi / Packard - 2-way Metripack 630 Plug Connector Assembly, pull to seat (18-14 gauge)
    GM Delphi / Packard - Female Metripack 280 Terminal, 18-16 gauge
    GM Delphi / Packard - Weather-Pack ( Weatherpack ) Cable Seal ( 20 - 16 gauge )
    GM / Delphi Sealed Metri-Pack ( Metripack ) 280 Medium Current Sealed Relay Kit SPDT 30 AMP
    16 gauge wire black + red
    14 gauge wire green to fuse/relay
    20 gauge wire blue (switch to relay)
    OEM fog light switch (Dealer purchase)
    Fog light Right / Left (Dealer purchase)

    I ordered parts in pieces to wire for 37.5 watt bulbs. But the factory 881 bulb can be done using lighter 18/16 gauge wire. (factory wires will not supply full power to a 37.5 watt bulb which is why I went with heavier wire and made heavy duty pigtails. Also using individual parts I was able to make a wire harness with out breaks in the line where as purchasing a premade pigtail would expose the wires at the crimped ends where you join your wires to the existing wires of the premade pigtail.

    I plan on entering the fire wall through the hood release cable grommit.

    Prepare for fog light replacement by disconnecting the negative battery terminal and placing a towel or piece of carpet in front of the vehicle. The bumper will be rested on the towel or carpet in a later step.

    The headlight must be unbolted to gain access to a screw beneath them.
    Remove the headlights from your Hyundai Santa Fe by removing three 10 millimeter bolts that hold them in place. Grab each headlight and pivot outward to remove it. Do not disconnect the headlight wires. Each headlight only needs to be moved aside to remove one screw underneath.

    Remove the bumper by loosening the screws in the expansion clip on top of the bumper. The screw fasteners that hold the bumper are plastic, and care should be taken during removal. Unscrew each one until 1/2 inch of threads show, then grasp the screw and pull out the expansion clip.

    Remove the 10 millimeter screws beneath the bumper and the three Phillips-head screws at the side of the bumper near the wheel well. Gently pull the bumper forward to dislodge it, using caution not to pull too far as wires are still attached to the bumper lights.

    Disconnect the lights from the bumper. While holding the bumper, unplug the side marker and fog lights. The bumper will now be free to set on a towel or piece of carpet to prevent scratches.

    Common automotive bulb
    Remove the bulbs by rotating each socket cover 1/8th of a turn counterclockwise. This gives access to the light bulb. Disconnect the electrical connector from the bulb, then rotate the base of each bulb 1/8th of a turn counterclockwise to remove and carefully raise each bulb out of the lamp assembly.

    Hey DP. I think I had a problem with these pigtails. The website I orders from had the wrong pigtails for the car listed, just make sure they have two female clips on the side and not in the center when you get them
