Where's my positive side of my vehicles fuse box?

Question

I have a 1993 Chrysler LeBaron 2.5L.

I am installing aftermarket fog lamps (fog lamps where not an option on this car) and I need to connect the power supply wire to the positive side of the vehicle's fuse box or battery terminal.

Well the cord won't reach the battery (unless there is some extender I could use) so I need to do it to the fuse box.

There are "Two" fuse boxes in my car: one under the dash and one under the hood, though I believe the one under the hood is the "official" fuse box and the one under the dash is just quick access to some.

Be as detailed as you can as I'm not very electrically inclined with cars.

Answer 1

in most states fog & driving lamps are to be used in conjuntion with high beams. When i install any such add on lighting , I generally tap into the high beam wire at the headlight itself.

Thus eliminating a seperate switch. Then everytime you put your high beams on your after market lighs will illuminate as well.

Best bet would be get a test light to ensure you are tapping into the right wire.

Answer 2

You should invest in an inexpensive test lamp to be sure.

Depending on the draw of the lamps, there may be a relay switch involved also. By your question, I suspect there is not in your case, and wonder the amperage of the lamps.

Where is the wire you want to attach going to?

Even more importantly, why do you want these lights on the car? As an OTR truck driver, I see too many of these that are not in adjustment, and serve no purpose than to blind drivers around them. On cars and trucks both, they are mostly useless, and just something more to maintain.
