Rewiring Foglights....

Can anyone tell me how to re-wire the fog lights so they just come on with the parking lights? I'm sure this can be done, but for some reason, I cannot find the proper documentation.

If you do this, just be careful to remeber to turn them off whenever you use your high beams, or you will get busted so bad.

i did mine to the wiper relay

i am pretty sure i posted this..

i grounded the fog relay to the wiper relay..

so the fogs are fully independant of ALL other lights...

but they turn off with the car turned off...


so far it's worked gread and the mod is all within the relay box under the hood...

i simply tucked a wire into the relays to connect them...

read my instructions

only problem is when i leave them on.. when i turn the car on.. the fogs turn on.. then off while it's winding up... then back on..

but so doesn't all the electronics in the car
( i think so nothing is taking away from starting power momentarily)

Okay, so maybe just a little bit busted. I just liked the sound of it the other way. Emphasis, my friend, 'twas only emphasis.

But really, isn't even a little bit busted still bad?
