Hello,

Is there a way to wire the fog lights to stay on when the high beams are on, but not bypassing the fog lights oem switch?

Thank you.

 

yes do a search and you will find the How to....

 

I typed that in the search engine before posting this thread and there's nothing specific

I check that website, been there before and already did that procedure, but fog lights turn off when I put the high beams and that's what I'm looking to fix.

 

That is the way Nissan wired the headlight switch to work. The fog light switch goes through the headlight switch and when the headlight switch is in either of the 2 high beam positions, it cuts off the fog light switch.

So what you will have to do is go into the steering column and find a white connector made for 6 wires (that may or may not have all 6 wires in it). Verify that the wires go to the fog light switch. One of the wires is a solid green wire (no stripe).

On the side that goes to the fog light switch, cut the green wire. Strip the insulation off of the end and connect it to a ground.

 

who do this mod??? cool factor??? mountain runs? additional light up close of car and up high?

 

Thanks for all the information

 

Yeah, the government set a standard that they didn't want anymore than four lights on at any given time.

 

I did not know that - but given how the government loves to stick their fingers into every aspect of our lives, I'm not surprised.

 

Exactly, what I was going to say, especially the PD, they suk biiiiiiig time.

 

I don't see the point, but goodluck with that.

 

Not sure if this will work in your 02, but it may be worth a look.

The fogs will still turn off when the high beams are turned on because of the design of the head light switch.

The mod by shiftice and the vqpower mod are the same thing - power the fog lights from the tail lights instead of the head lights. The headlight switch design causes the fog light relay to de-energize in the high beam position, so a second mod is needed.

 

I rewired my fogs last week but instead of running the fog wire to the tail light I ran it through the AC relay so I can have the option of running the fogs with or w/o the heads. Also, when the car is off so are the fogs.
