Any way to run these things without having your low-beams on? I hear its just one wire you disconnect somewhere...

I have factory fog lights and of course mine were wired to come on with the headlights too. I would prefer being able to turn them on without headlights so I'm trying to research rewiring mine. When I find out how I'll post it.

As for the yellow bulbs that sounds like a good idea!

They come on when you tturn the lights on? O that sucks. I would rather have it so i can control them with a switch! like in my boss's toyota highlander. they have a switch to turn them on or off! that sucks! guess i wont be getting those anytime soon.

They do have a switch. The issue is that they you can only turn them on when the lights are on.

running the fogs with just the parking lights on is not that hard - you just need to tap the power for the fogs from the parking lights instead of the headlights...

i had the same problem on my rsx annd rewired it - i like the look of parking lights and fogs only when it's getting dark but not dark enough to turn on the headlights...
