Great tut! :thumbup: I just got done doing this along with disabling my drl's. I hated having to only use the fogs when the headlights were on. Thanks again.

found it, it should be one of those green one under the climate control

on plug IO wire 2 -> tail lights
or plug IE wire 6 -> right side marker & parking light
or plug IC wire 4 -> left sidn marker
or plug IC wire 5 -> left parking light

should work for you, IO2 is easier, i will try it out tmr

Just tap it to the 10A TAIL fuse for parking light activation.

Just need a little bit of clarification before I begin..
Alright so doing this procedure and tapping into a "parking light circuit" will give you full control (able to turn on/off) the foglights only when the parking light switch is in the "on" position, Correct?
 
#10 ·
Correct. If you use the 10A Tail fuse as the source it will only have power when the Parking Lights are activated... either by switch or the sensor.

Ok. So the parking lights can be "on", and the foglights can be turned "off" if desired?

Full control of the stock foglight switch is pretty much what I'm asking..

FYI, In some states, it's illegal to run fogs independent of the headlights which is why they are wired that way. Mod at your own risk, especially with the high beams!

That requires cutting & grounding the Grn/Wht jumper Pin 10 or grounding the Grn/Blk wire Pin 11 (also available as Pin 2 on the Foglight Relay) on the OEM combination HL/Dimmer switch. If you're using the stock foglight switch.

Radioshack should have the wires. They come in a 3 pack of red, black and green. Then you get the female connector separately. Autozone or any other auto store should have some wire as well that you can use.

^that part you quoted is only needed to allow the fogs to be on w/the highbeams.

could pulling out the wire and insulating it with tape work, instead of cutting and grounding the wire?

Nope

BlazinBeatzz said:
also what difference would it make choosing pin 10 over pin11 and vis versa
Click to expand...
Cutting & grounding pin 10 allows you to continue to use the stock foglight switch. Grounding pin 11 would put the fogs on ANY time the Tails are on (no off switch).

Tape it. If you leave it in the connector, the fogs will only turn on when the low beams are on and shut off when the highbeams go on. This mod provides power from an alternate source other than the low beam fuse and allows you to continue to use the fog switch on the stalk.

This mod works good. Thanks for the write-up. BTW, I put mine in with the
10A HTR fuse and now they come on anytime I have my key turned once and don't have to have my parklights on; they are completely independent from any other lights and I can still turn them on/off with the factory switch.
