Finally...

I know MANY people have done this, but I finally rewired my fogs to go on with parking lights. It was easier than I thought. Took me 15 minutes with a solder gun. I also replaced my Bose tweeters with JL Audio soft domes. What a difference! The new tweeters breath real life into the front soundstage. I highly recomned it for you Bose guys who are sick of no high frequencies up front. Took me another 20 minutes. They will hold me over until I get the real urge to replace all the speakers and amp.

I thought there was an ohm difference in the Bose tweeters, was the switch hard?

What color wire did you connect the fuse to? And have you done the side marker blinking with the turn signal mod. I've done the turn signal mod and want to do the fog light mod, and want to know if both are done together will it mess anything up?

CCx, I LIVE in Chesterbrook...LOL. Alot of people hook up the fog light wire to the parking light wire by drilling a hole in the botom of the relay box under the hood. In my 03, there is a much faster way. I just tagged the wire coming out of the "Tail Light" relay. The wire was red/green on the tail light relay and blue on the fog light relay. I simply cut the blue wire and attached the end coming from the relay to the red/green wire of the tail light relay. Took no time. Not sure if 01 or 02 are the same colors though. I have not done the flashing marker light mod and I probrably won't. Just my preference.
As far as the tweeters go, the factory Bose tweeters are 4 ohm Clarion tweeters. I just swapped them out for a set of JL 3/4" domes with crossovers. Since I do car stereo stuff too, it took me no time. Again, the difference is amazing.
