there is a way to run a relay, but you have to have your parking lights on to have your fogs on (which looks just as lame as if you had you headlamps on)....


..... Im sure someone will chime in to tell you how to do it. But it basically consists on jumping one wire from a fuse to another fuse.

Just wire you fog lights seperately to your own switch.

Just pull out and look at the back of the factory switch. There's two wires, RED / BLACK. Just ground the black wire and you're set. Fogs work whenever you want.

thanks for that info, i was just about ready to re-wire the foglights.

But to anyone else who plans on doing this mod, the wire is BLACK/WHITE stripe. Cut that wire then butt connect it or tape it up and tuck it back inside and on the Switch side GROUND that wire.

Oops Yeah, you're right. Ground the side of the wire coming FROM the switch. Then tape up the other end and tuck it away. Thanks for clearing that up.
