yeah thats true....well u guys know what i'm talking about right?....has any1 done this mod yet?.....or any suggestions?....... btw thats a good suggestion maximase96 cause i was thinking of that...LOL.....but any electrical buffs?....cause i really wanna do this mod...but not to good with the electrical part..LOL..let me know!

 

Yea i also would love to do that... It would also make the car really easy to spot after night classes.

 

would this mod be better if i posted it in teh electrical section?????damn no help...

 

Have you rewired your fogs to come on with your parking lights yet? If not, do it and leave the fog light switch on and when you lock/unlock the Max, it will flash both the parking lights and fog lights (assuming the parking lights flash on yours...haven't been able to use my alarm yet...do the parking lights flash stock?).

I have purchased a OEM keyless entry remote so as soon as I get it, I'll test as I've rewired my fogs to come on with my parking lights...

 

If you have an aftermarket alarm system AND you do the re-wire so your fogs work with your parking lights... then yes... the fogs will blink with your alarm on/off sequence.

If you have the factory alarm system AND you do the re-wire so your fogs work with your parking lights... then NO... the fogs will NOT blink with your alarm on/off sequence because the OEM alarm doesn't blink the parking lights, it blinks the turn signals.

I have the OEM system and also wanted my fogs to blink but couldn't think of a way to do it. If you wire the fogs into the turn signals it WILL light them up with the alarm but it will also light them up when you use your turn signals. You would need a way to somehow let the car know the difference.

I was thinking the following... wire the fogs into the parking lights like I have now (write-up in the DIY of this forum)... then use that same trigger wire and wire that into a 5-prong relay. The relay would also be wired to the turn signals and an ignition-on wire. So the theory would be that when the car is on, the relay would make sure the turn signals didn't make the fogs blink yet they would still work with the parking lights. But when the car was off, it would allow the turn signals to flash the fogs.

This mod seems like it would work... in theory... I haven't actually had time to do this yet. It's not too involved but if someone has an easier way please share.

 

this could be done quite easily...if one could tap into the keyless entry computer, and then use the pulses to initiate the relay that would light the fogs.

The fogs also consume some power, so you don't want them to stay on for extended periods, therefore you'd need to add a timer so they cut off...

 

thats exactly what i'm looking for....thnks guys for the ideas....hmmm now to think of a timer for this mod. =D

 

Well I don't know if it helps but I have aftermarket foglights, I just put them on, like a month ago so u can't see them in the signature but anyway, I connected them to the parking/corner lights. I'm not sure what kind of alarm you have but mine turns on the parking lights when open or close so there fore the fog lights blink with those. It's pretty cool, looks nice at night time.

 

Do they blink with the parking lights or the turn signals? Do you have the stock alarm or aftermarket?

 

They blink with the parking light... Now about which alarm i have, it came with the car when I bought and I seen the same alarm on my friend's maxima, so I'm thinking it could be stock, it;s pretty straight forward alarm, if it was aftermarket would have been better I think. I'll try to take some pics and post them

 

Factory alarm has "NISSAN" on the key fob and the key fob has lock button, separate unlock button, trunk release button and panic button and if you hold down the unlock button for a bit, it rolls down the two front windows. Else, I don't think it's factory because all the factory ones I've seen blink the turn signals not the parking lights.

Pic of the remote (I think it's stock)

 

That's not the OEM alarm key fob. That looks like it might be a dealer installed alarm system key fob.

This is the OEM factory key fob.



When I hit the lock button, my car flashes the turn signals, not the parking lights, therefore the issue with how to make the fogs flash too.
