What do I have to do to keep the fog lights on when I turn on my high beams? Do I just have to wire around a relay or something? Someone help me out!

foglight rewire

here's the link for the foglight rewire.
http://www.voicenet.com/~breaux/car/fog/fogrewire.html
use a 14 guage wire. You don't need to unscrew the coolant resevoir from the car. Just give it a hard tug and it will come out of the bracket. Easy to do. very cool results.
you will be able to have fogs only with parking lights and fogs on while high beam. let me know how it works out

It didn't work! For some reason, there's no relay for the driver's side headlight in the relay box. It's wired in with the foglight relay. After I did the wire job I turned on the fogs, and the d/s headlight came on too! Only the low beams come on. The lows then stay on when flipping to high beams, but only on the d/s. What gives? It's a '99 SE, and I'm sure it can't be wired up that much differently than a '97 in the article!

Re: foglight rewire

I"m not sure why you are having problems. Yes I agree with you that the 99 should be like the 97. you may want to review the website again. I'm sure you may have already done that. If you still can't figure it out email brian. He's pretty prompt in his replies and seems like a really nice guy. good luck. let us know how it works out.
