I do a lot of driving in all sorts of crappy conditions with all sorts of deer jumping in the road. It would be nice to have the option of running just fogs if I have to, or having them on with the high beams. The wide pattern of light helps illuminate the side of the road where those pain in the *** deer usually are waiting to commit suicide on your car. Anyone got intructions, or a link to them? Thanks!

Electrical (on left drop down list) -> Fog's on with driving lights.

I highly recommend this mod.

Wizegy! Thanks for the link, consider the mod done! I think I'll take care of my side markers and corner lamps while I'm at it!

i actually by-passed all the factory wiring and rewired them with a heavier guage to compensate the 85 watt H3's. I also ran a new line into the car for a switch located next to my gauge dimmer. They are great for driving at dusk with only the fogs on! since they are independant, they work with the high beams on too. Great mod, reccomend it to everyone!

bendover j/k, lol.
Once you get them installed, depending on your foggies examine your relay to see where to connect the hot wire. Also, in case you have the foggies ON by themselves and forget them on the "ON" postion, connect the main wire to the fuse box. This way they turn off when the key is out of the ignition.
