Fog Lights Re-Wire

Newbie here.
I would like to rig my F lights to turn on without and with my parking lights only. Not really interested in having them on with the hi- beams, but Im all ears if anybody has figured it out.
I have read a few how to's. Although the one post I did read was for a 2k and not a 02 or 03. They mentioned that the wires are different color or design for my yr model??
Could someone point me in the right direction with detailed instructions. Pics would be nice.

In addition, has anybody done or seen a mod for yellow foglights. Like you see on the Lexus GS models? Does this require a yellow bulb or an entire assembly?

thx in advance,

R

Instead of the orange wire on 00-01 it is the blue/silver on the 02-03. Other than that use the how to's they are quite good. The one on the flashing corners is a great one too.
As far as the yellow fogs, I would think you can change bulbs, but i am not positive

Thanks.

Will this give me the option to turn on the Fogs without the parking lights, or do I have to turn on the parking lights in order to illuminate the fogs?

Yes, I have been reading up on those as well. There seem to be many choices as far as the color. I have been told to stick with the 55w stock. I was told to get PIAA. I would like to match my fogs with my HID's. THis is the link I found. What wattage and type do you have?

Part Number: PIA15555
Bulb Type: H3
Wattage: 55w = 85w, 5000K

With a rating of 5000K, the Super Plasma bulbs will give your factory fog lights a beautiful bluish purple look.

check these out...i think they should be pretty close to our HID's since they give off a purplish look...

Super Plamas are the closest to OEM bulbs
