it's magic





all i did was put a jumper wire from my fogs to my wipers in the fuse box on the passenger side of the engine bay. why the wipers? cuz they run when the key is acc. took about 5 min and about .38 cents.

side marker/corner light seems more logical to me, if you like flipping your fog switch every time you hit the lights then go for the wipers

unless you leave them on all the time.

You have something against leaving them on all the time?

And so far as I had heard, wiring them up to the wipers would cause the fogs to light intermittently while using the wipers. Mine are wired up to the corner lights (IIRC, it's been...2 years now, I guess) and are on all the time.

what are you talking about? They're talking about a power source. Not the green and orange wire part...

asking for a member on another forum:

if you want the lights to come on with the parking lights you jump the fog wire to the parking light relay correct?

are you actually serious right now? Did you not read one part of this thread? Did you even click the link provided that brings you to the write up on how to do it? I can't believe you would repost the same question.

Then it's simple, wire the fog light relay up to a power source.

There is a big howto on this... http://www.vqpower.com/v2/readarticle.php?article_id=31

no im angry that you apparently didn't read anything in this thread. The link posted brings you to the exact thread in which the mod was written up. It tells you exactly how to do it. Read it.

i think some of us got confused about how i put it. i understand that its been posted but the thing i wanted to know is that only switching the foglight switch on would only switch the foglights on and nothing else. without having to switch on the headlights, corner lights running lights. but its ok, now that i have instructions and stuff and how it looks. its all good thnx for the info guys much help is appreciated. were all family if u have a max :-D

again...not angry. It's just the same thing all the time. I didn't know how to do the mod when I wanted to. I didn't know anything about eletrical wiring. But the point is that I read the thread and figured it out. New guys just don't read. They look at it and say I read it, I don't understand it. You need to read it a few times and actually look at your car or pictures while reading. It's not hard. And I say this because it explains in the writeup that you can wire the fogs to anything you want so when you turn on the fog switch they will turn on, whether other lights or not. That's why I made the comments. It's in there so if you keep posting about it it's obvious you didn't read it.

p.s. who said anything about me being smart or perfect? I don't know **** about turbos, superchargers, and a lot of other stuff. The point is that if you want to learn, read and study it. Don't just ask people to spoon feed it. I'm by no means smart ha.
