My goal was to be able to run my fogs with my highs on also. Lights up real nice on a dark backroad then. Put your fogs on and then pull your passing switch and you'll see what I mean.

I'm pissed now. I tried doing the foglight only mod and I broke the damn switch. Now I need a new switch. I lost the small ball that went on it. You probably have better mechanical knowledge than I do about it.

See, this is the crazy part that I first hinted at in the other thread. Way back in '98 when I first got my car and found CEG the HOWTO actually had an extra step on how to make it work this way. It wasn't much more difficult. Basically it involved wiring the relay slightly different, but no Dremeling or anything like that. I guess it was removed from the HOWTO because in many states it's illegal to run fogs by themselves. Like I said though, I don't remember the specifics.

And BTW, here's how mine work: switch off - fogs on; parking lamps on (switch in or out) - fogs on; headlights on, switch in - fogs off; headlights on, switch out - fogs on; highbeams on - fogs off




I think this was the 'fogs as DRL' mod. It was probably pulled because too many people had trouble doing it correctly due to different wire colors, relay types, etc. I've had mine wired this way for years now and think it's the best light mod. It even prevents the fogs from being on when the brights are on. (Illegal to have more than 4 forward lights in many states/provinces.)

whoah, way to bring back a 3 year old thread... I just asked this question last week, although the only way to really do it (apparently) is with a relay.

read this thread:
