Default !!!Signal Light Question!!! only seen this once...have you?

well the other day i was driving my box...and bumped to another box that was on

the oppossing traffic...he was making a left and i noticed that he made his

OEM fog lights signal at the same time his headlight signal would blink which

i thought looked pretty cool...has anyone seen this before? i asked my brother and

he said that you can buy that at your local autozone or pep boys.but i could'nt find any

would you peeps know where i can actually get this?

I'd imagine just rewiring the ground wire on the fog wiring to use the ground of the blinker would do it.

Then you just leave the switch on, and it should run with the turn signal. Shouldn't be too hard.

well would'nt that burn out the fog light bulb if you were to rewire the whole thing???

would there be any other way to make the fog light blink compared to using the fog

lamp itself.and to avoid the bulb to burn out.???

thanks guys!!!

It shouldn't burn out any faster.... In fact, only using it as a turn signal (and not as a fog light) would probably make it last longer.

Although the factory fogs do look like old school bumper lens turn signals, I think the standard turns are plenty bright. Not to mention the blinking side markers. No need to blink the fog light too.

Yea, I mean as long as you're not using HID in the fogs, it's not dangerous to do it.

that's a easy mod... i did that to mine but what i did was added a wire from my turn signals to the foglights and installed a diode in line to keep from back feeding in to the foglights if i have the foglights on at night...or u can go this route..my buddie drilled a hole in fog light assembly and bought a light bulb from pep boys or autozone and tapp in to the turn signal wires...

im thinking about doing this
but making the fog light a dedicated turn signal
i was thinking splicing teh line from the turn signal adn rewiring it so it goes to the fog
but for teh ground woudl i have to run it back to teh corner bulb ground or can i use teh stock fog ground
(or any ground for that matter)
