how to make fog lights be on without headlights.
ive checked the serches i did find that you need 12 volts for them to turn on. and most people wiere them to the pakring lights or the winshield washer lines. however, all the links with the write ups ive clicked on must have been hella old. therefore, i wana know if any one got a write up link for this?

Bumping an old thread for input.
So I followed the writeup and now my fogs only come on without the headlights. As soon as I turn the headlights on, the fogs shut off. Tried all settings (high/low beam, parking lights), nothing. Knew I shouldnt have attempted this without a wiring diagram....
BTW, if it helps some, now when the headlights are in the off position (fogs on/hl off), the blue high beam indicator in the cluster is dimly illuminated...

the red arrow is kinda pointin at the yellow an green wire on the brown relay buts it the green with yellow stripe on the blue relay
#22
From the pics, it seems that I have to cut the pink wire. As you can see, the colors of the wires are different.
Will be going back at it as soon as it cools off. 90+ deg out there....

here in pa thats illegal to have your foglights turn on w/o headlights. i guess cause people use them instead of their headlights. fogs def arent bright enough to use as headlights, i know some of you use hid fogs but still illegeal here.
#24
Thats interesting because I know some audis use the fog lights as DRLs over here. I did this mod a while ago and I had to figure the diagram out myself because the wiring colors are different up here in Canada where all the cars had DRLs. I remember I didn't touch anything with the wipers though, I tapped just the headlight wires and I just took the fuse out for my DRLs to have just the fogs on.
#25
I never knew that man! I was thinking about doing this actually. I would still use my headlights at night though lol. Nokya fogs FTW!
#26
No kidding? Thats whack. Im about to HID my fogs very soon myself. But Ill run em with the halos on for safety.
#27
BTW, I got my fogs to work independantly for the most part. They work with just the low beams and parking lights. High beams, no. But thats fine with me. Reason I went ahead with the mod is so I can run my fogs with my halos. Halos are spliced into the corners. So it still works!
For reference I30 owners, following the writeup, for us, look for a PINK wire, not green/yellow from the fog relay. PINK WIRE FROM THE FOG RELAY!! And everything else stays the same. Cut pink wire and splice that into light green wire of the wiper relay.
Thanks Luke for the big time assist.
