hey, i bought a pair of pilot fog lights today and want them to turn on with my lights, preferibly to parking lights. it comes with a switch,no relay though but i wanna use parking lights instead to trigger them to turn on. any help is great.
I was wondering if i could have the neg from the fog lights hooked up to the neg in the parking lights what way that would complete the cirucit??
thanks in advance

 

relay with 12v current from the battery is the only way to do it. your way would blow the fuse

 

thanks, could you go just a bit more in detail as how to hook it up? i have never used relays before

 

Where did you get the lights? Any pics?

now you can use a relay

 

Thanks for all the help i got the lights at autozone, as you can tell i had to do some modifications to them, via the relay and way to mount them and how to turn them off and on. Heres 2 quick pics, its like 20 degrees here and i was frezzing.



I dimmed it in photoshop a bit so you could get a better idea

 

Nice lights! can't you use the factory fog light switch though?

 

Gxe didn't have standard fog lights

 

yeah, if i had the fog light switch then i would use that. but finding one is hard

 

pictures are down. i would love to see it.

i guess i cant link or somethin, i need to find a good place to host my site for free.

 

I have some Pilot fogs from Autozone also and I hooked them up to my factory wires and use the stock fog light switch for them. The only thing I dont like is that you cant have them on with just your corner lights on, you need your headlights to be on also.

 

Yes you CAN have them on with just your corner (parking) lights on. Take a look at Craig Brace's site for info on how to do this. He's got wiring info and detailed instructions. I've done it, and so have a lot of others here...

 

how did you get it to work with the short wiring it came with???

i am about to work on mine but i am going to use my previous wiring.

 

the wring was plenty long enough for me, its all about how you run it. And i dunno if i would use stock wiring you might melt it or mess the electrical sys up

 

no, i am not using stock wiring...i had some aftermarket foglights before the one i am about to put in... i am using that wiring, just need to make a couple of little adjustments.

i already have the relay and fuse box ready to go.
