Default First Real Mod!!!

I finally installed my first real mod a bumper!

Now I just got to figure out where to put the power for the switch for the fog lights since it has a terminal style ending, the previous owner told me to put it on the fuse block's power I have no Idea what that means where can I put it with since he put the terminal ending on it and he said it worked fine? Also for the wiring of the Piaa lights could I simply merge the piaas switch's power with the power that is going to supply power to the fog light's switch?

Installation took me about 1.5 hours with my dad helping, I used some airtools to mount the bumper




Should I keep the lights chrome? or paint them black? I kinda like it in a way but at the same time ehh.

Heres what the previous owner told me.

"You hook it up at the circuit box, You can Hook one of those red wires to the battery as well. If you don't have enough room on the circuit breaker box nut."

Is this circuit box the fuse box? If so where do I hook it up with that ending?

Anyone know how to hook up the fog lights switches power?

Heres what the previous owner told me.

"You hook it up at the circuit box, You can Hook one of those red wires to the battery as well. If you don't have enough room on the circuit breaker box nut."

Is this circuit box the fuse box? If so where do I hook it up with the ending for the switches power which is an open terminal end.

Rather than mess with the fuse box (which is what he means when he says circuit breaker box), just go directly to the battery. But, you MUST have a fuse in the light circuit! If you don't and something happens (wire gets worn through the insulation over time, etc), you could have an electrical fire.
