seiyafan Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Will this work for 2010/2011 Legacy? I want to be able to turn on/off fog from switch on the dash regardless of the headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGT_King Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Sorry to revive this, I hope some of you guys are still around. I disabled the DRL plug and followed the write up. (thanks V33K btw) First few days my fog lights stayed on all the time (while the car was on). Worked like DRL even if everything was switched off. Then all of a sudden they turned off. I can still turn them on with my switch and i don't have to turn on my headlights (had to when it was stock). Right now, i can turn all my lights off (illegal) but i leave my fog light switch on all the time, and the lights turn off when i turn off my car. Is this exactly how they're supposed to work? Did i mess up in the beginning and now it somehow fixed itself? For anyone using this mod. IT is suppose to be for fog lights as DRL. I was using this for this reason and it works great. The reason why it seems to work for some people is that the wiring as it is should still have the option of turning off the fogs at the switch, but the resistance in the switch is not high enough to stop it from grounding out. This is also the reason some people have found some burnt wiring if they used thin wires. This being said you are better off just grounding the wire that is labelled to come from the relay to the steering column wire. This will have them on as DRL but without any possible effects to your wiring/switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmicmotorbike Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 anyone have a 08+ write up? I don't mind splicing/cutting wires.

micmicmotorbike Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 i did it via the splicing/cutting mod on my 09' and the fogs will only come on with my parking lights on? is this whats going on with the 08+ model years? or do yours turn on when you start your car?

flipsubie06 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 This mod will make your foglight become stand-alone operation. Standard disclaimer, it's not my fault if you blow up your car with this mod. I am not responsible for anything. If you don't like this mod, don't do it. Here goes: So, I was installing my STi gauge pack. I figure I might as well do the foglight mod as well. 01 - Material that you need 02 - Put everything together as Shown 03 - Pull the foglight relay out 04 - Pull the fuse out 05 - Connect the wire to the relay 06 - Wire the Relay terminal 30&87 06b - Wire the Relay terminal 85 to the 7.5A fuse 07 - Remove the harness under steering column 08 - From terminal 86 of the relay, stick the wire into the harness as shown 09 - Same as above 10 - Grounding Wire 11 - Connect the ground wire to the white harness, right next to 08 12 - Tie up the relay 13 - Result hey wut gauge wires did you use?

zx6rexx Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hey I was hoping to get some help on a situation ive gotten into.. I went to do this today and wired/connected everything up and tested it and it worked! the fog lights were working and I was able to switch them on and off independently of the headlights as the OP claimed... However, I was attempting to tuck the relay and wires under the metal plate and in doing so got a small blue spark from inside where the relay sits as when a fuse blows. pulled the fuse and it was fine so I though I blew the relay however I swapped out a couple of identical relays from inside the fuse box (ac and fan i think) and tried again but it would not work..now my fog lights are inoperable even with everything back to normal Anybody know what has happend and how I can solve this? I hope I didnt seriously fk something up..have worked with electrical wires and such on my bike but never experiecnd this before.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx6rexx Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Just thought I would update this in case anyone was following: Turns out I had blown the fog light assy fuse..somehow i missed that one fuse when I was pulling them to check. Rewired everything and properly shielded each wire to make sure there would be no contact, then ziptied everything carefully in place and now the mod is working as promised with no problems for the past couple months..

turboWagon Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Thanks v33k, did the mod and everything worked, the fog is fully independently controled by the stalk. here is an additional pic for step #8 as I was a little confused when I did the mod.

ERLoft Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 When you do this will you still have fog lights when your regular lights are on?

mestizoracer310 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Ok, so I made three extensions to connect relay to OE socket. They're about 2" long, tip to tip. Basically one end is a male spade while other end is a female spade. Only longer wire I think necessary is the one that feeds switched voltage to the relay.....so it's essentially like v33k's but only requiring one long wire to jumper switched power to energize the relay..... However, what I need to know is which terminal off the relay gets "the long wire" and which terminalsbasically get extended a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mestizoracer310 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 So I mixed the top processes of v33k's and mookjohn?.?.......... I stripped one end, shoved it into the fuse panel as v33k's instructed. Then I "T tapped" the blue/white wire behind the relay panel. Works like a charm. Fully independent, turns off with ignition in off/lock and only requires one wire..... Side note: tried using an add a circuit, used same connections and nothing. Did it with the bare wire and works fine. I can't even gave this little mod fuse protected.?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mestizoracer310 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 ok so here's a (late) update... anytime I've used the flash to pass or high beams, it blows the fuse, even with a 1N4004 diode. what gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mestizoracer310 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 alright, 2nd update: I did the extension way of v33k's method, while connecting the one long wire behind the relay box to the blue/white wire. Now everything works, no fuse blowing...will be doing the 2nd part of one of these mods that allow fogs to stay on when you use high beams or flash to pass........BUT... Now I want to know how to wire it so that if I have all lights off (or just my fogs during the day..mainly when it's dark enough for the fogs but not enough to necessitate the lows)........that the flash to pass ONLY does the highs, but if my lights are on, it's like it's stock, does that make sense?

mestizoracer310 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I have my doubts that this would be possible without hacking the turn signal stalk. IIRC, I saw someone say you can hook an external relay to one pin off the combo switch for flash to pass (w/o low beams), but can't find it.... maybe that'll work while my lows are already on? So I wonder if I should try clarifying this some more, what I want is: While lows are off, flash to pass only activates high beams.... While lows are on, they stay on and the high beams turn on for however long I hold the stalk towards me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevets27 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I think I want something similar to Mestisoz. I have an 09. I want to be able to have just the fogs on. I want the fogs to stay on if I turn on my high beams. I want my fogs to stay off if they are off when using high beam I want only the high beams to come on when no lights are on and I pull the stock (flash to pass) I don't want my low beams to come on when using flash to pass and my lights aren't on I want my low beams to stay on when using high beams I want my drl to still function (high beams are drl in 09) I want them to turn off when turning the car off. In summary I want the fogs to be only controlled by the on off switch on the stock and nothing else effect them and the rest of the system to remain stock if I have to function of the stock setup understood correctly. I think I covered everything there. I am OK with my fogs not being independent of the parking lights though I would prefer them to be independent. I have HID low beam and fogs so I don't want them turning on and off without be intentionally doing so.
