Not sure what your saying; if you've connected fogs as DRLs without using DRL circuitry, then you could pull DRL relay and insert OEM shorting bar that is inserted in lieu of relay in USA cars. If fogs do not come on automatically as DRLs then as PackRat says it would be illegal as well as being unsafe. 98 Mystique LS v6 atx 110,000km 97 Contour LX v6 atx 125,000km stock CD on LS, cass on LX spoiler, tinted windows on LS only 4 wheel discs on LX only All other available options on both

I'm sure it's not to involved to make this change....as a matter of fact I think some people have already done it. I for one wish to do it. DRL's have been proven to help reduce accidents, but I have to agree during the day it looks better to only have the fogs on rather than both DRLs and fogs. hunter green 96 mystique mtx, sabb side markers deep tints car bra., K & N filter, hyper white low beams, after market fogs, JVC Kameleon head unit, 600 watt amp with 2 10" kicker subs, soon to come new rims New adition 01/11/2002 The original 95SE in Midnight Red all the toys including traction control Fog light mod, lightmoonroof switch from a focus, power antena (still wiring it up) post 98 sail panels, new water pump , Bosch quad plaitnum plugs, and a new Cat.
