Independent Fog Light Rewire Question...
I did an exhaustive search and I came to the conclusion that the wire spliced from the fog light relay can be connected to the wiper relay in order to power the fog lights independently (without park lights or headlights on), is this true? If so, I have a 97 and was wondering since I dont have a voltage meter, does anyone know which wire exactly (color?) it is that I can use from the wiper relay to connect the new wire? Thanks.

I don't get it... if you splice it to the wiper relays rather than the corners... then all you get is ure fogs turning on when u have ure wiper on

Well if you want it independent, you need to have your own external switch and i recommend you splice the wire directly to a battery and in between have a switch (u can put it on ure dash somewhere) and a fuse.

Actually I should go ahead and delete this post soon since I have just finished the rewiring. I rewired the the new wire to the orange wire going to the wiper relay. I didn't have a voltage meter but I figured I just need to know which is positive and which is negative and what powers on when the car is on so I just used a spare 194 sidemarker bulb laying around and found out which wire it was (orange one in the middle of the relay) by finding out which ones are needed to light the bulb. I have a pic up on my homepage. I guess it was too late in the evening for anyone to reply.
