Turn-on Foglights with Parking Lights

[developed]

Hey everyone, I'm new here but not new to auto forums or forums-in-general. I tried to search for an answer or Mod/How-to, to no avail. So I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

 

My ride is a 2014 Outback 2.5i Premium, CVT.

 

My goal is to be able to turn-on my fog-lights, so in essence, they'd be daytime running lights. Also want them to still operate with headlights on (of course).

 

Thanks

Don't really have exact directions, but really it just sounds like you want independent control of your foglights, as in, the switch inside just turns them on/off regardless of the headlights being on.

 

In practice, it's as simple as providing accessory power to the wire going to the switch/relay for the foglights.

 

 

Either way, maybe this will work for you

Thanks for the info Aphex28 and quick reply. I've only been able to skim this thread - we've been evacuating and un-evacuating from wildlires, here in Oregon.

 

Looks like this (these) mods don't quite do want what I'm looking for. I checked out: https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/fog-light-mod-226270.html?t=226270 This does what I want except you must manually turn-off fog-lights with this mod.

Well the thread I provided will work. You just have to find a wire that gives accessory(key on 12v) power rather than power from the parking light.

 

The method they use in there is a bit chintzy and sloppy, but it works. It's not the way I would do it, but at least it's reversible.
