Fog Light Mod Version 2.0

There is already a current thread on this...

Really haven't got any feedback on it yet, but I'm hoping that people will like it.

I did the fog light mod about 3 years ago. I love it. I dont see a reason to have the fogs go off with the brights, i have never had an issue.

What is the reason you do not want the fogs on with brights?

[Ray]

more than 4 forward facing lights is illegal in most(all???) states.

fogs plus highs plus lows is 6.

I don't know... I just like the factory style that they shut off when the high beams are on.... not to mention what ray said, in Wisconsin I know it's illegal... That's something I don't need attracting police when I'm coming home from the bar...

Ya, I remember reading the 4 forward facing light law on CEG when i did that mod.
But then I thought about it, you won’t have your brights on if a car is close enough to count the number of lights on.
I agree anything to make sure you don’t attract attention on the way home from the bar is a good idea.
Great job figuring out how to retain the stock functionality while incorporating the mod.

*the reason i asked in the first place was to try to stir up conversation since no one really responded to your two threads.

lol, well thanks for the effort, seems not too many are interested, which is fine, I enjoy writing detailed how-to's when they have to do with the ford contour either way. I have a disassembled blinker/high beam switch sitting in my box at work, that is my next thing to do. I'd like to see if I can do the fog light mod with that, so that it remains completely factory, and still turns on when the headlights are not on.

I'll probably do this mod to my CSVT after I put it on the road. I like that it shuts off automatically when you flip the brights on. I'm usually too lazy to just turn them off when I flip on the brights. This is nice because it still retains stock functionality, or at least how it should have been wired from the factory!

It seems like Ford got the picture because my parents' 05 focus has it wired so you can run the fogs/parking lights... They should've learned sooner!

that is interesting... maybe im just blind but i did the foglight fix years ago and didnt see that it was 4 forward lights. i used to have 8 forward facing lights at one point... Damn yellow haze on headlights... but took the extra set off when i got in a wreck...damn tow company messed em up... def will investigate 2.0

[CSVT_2004]

I got the switches apart, I just have been too lazy to go and figure out which is what on the switches....

[Steeda...]

bla your making it way more complicated than it is

Just do the foglight mod. Then get a relay

Ground 85
Power from highbeam 86
Then cut the power to the foglights and run one into 30 and the other into 87A

Then it will work all the time until you flash or turn on the highbeams then fogs will shut off
