Zues Marine Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Tools needed: 10mm SocketWire ClippersQuick Wire Connectors or soldering gun Difficulty: 3/10 This guide shows you how to wire your fogs to run whenever your parking lights do, as far as i know this is an illegal mod in all states so do this at your own risk. Walkthrough: Step One: Trace the wires from your fog lights back around 6" and cut them so you have a good amount of wire to work with. Strip the ends of the wire about .3" you can now pull or hide the wiring from your OEM switch as you will not be needing it afterwards. Step Two: Unbolt the three 10mm bolts securing the headlight to the radiator support http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t232/wakeboardingguy/DIY%20Fogs%20and%20PLights/100_0269.jpg Step Three: Pull out the headlight at an angle, be careful not to pull to hard, as the the rod near the turn sigle is somewhat delicate http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t232/wakeboardingguy/DIY%20Fogs%20and%20PLights/100_0270.jpg] Step Four: Rotate the turn signal counter clockwise to disengage from the headlight and let the bulb hang over your bumper http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t232/wakeboardingguy/DIY%20Fogs%20and%20PLights/100_0271.jpg Step Five: Run a length of wire from the turn signal bulb to the wires you stripped from the fogs. connect the wires and thread them through to your signals http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t232/wakeboardingguy/DIY%20Fogs%20and%20PLights/100_0272.jpg Step Six: Using your quick connectors, tap into the parking signal wires like this: (blue connectors in the picture) Driver's Side: fog wire purple tapped into parking light red fog wire black tapped into parking light black Pass. Side: fog wire green to parking light red fog wire black to parking light black http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t232/wakeboardingguy/DIY%20Fogs%20and%20PLights/100_0273.jpg Step Seven: Test, clean up the wires, reassemble and enjoy http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t232/wakeboardingguy/DIY%20Fogs%20and%20PLights/100_0278.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t232/wakeboardingguy/100_0200.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zues Marine Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 yes, as long as the parking lights are on, the fogs will be on, that includes when you trip the switch atop the steering wheel with the keys completely out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeelo Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I don't think it's that illegal, just as long as you don't think your fog lights equal as head-lights. Cops around here will nail you every time. So don't use just your fog lights at night. Plus I have fog lights on my truck that are wired to be a constant hot. I just have to remember to turn them off. I would imagine this mod would keep the fog lights on even when the hi-beams are on, as the parking lights do not turn off when you turn on the hi beams. Factory, the fog lights turn off with the hi-beams because the low beams turn off when the hi-beams are turned on and the fogs are wired with the low beams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted May 15, 2011 I Donated Share Posted May 15, 2011 Nice DIY Zues. I've been needing to do this, but I have been too lazy. Do you think the parking light wiring will support HIDs? -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Zues Marine Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 ^ i vampire clipped the driver's side lowbeam and ran it over to power the pass side projector and i never had a single problem but im not too sure, guess i could try it here in a week or so when my 3000k's get here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal71919 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Anybody do this mod and keep blowing fuses? Initially I thought it was the 100w bulbs I put in but I put the 55w bulbs back in and it blew the fuse again. Could it be that the fogs are not grounded with the side markers, but instead grounded independently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gt_Legacy Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 why coulldnt you splice the parking light wires to the fog light switch? then you can have the fogs on with parking lights on but still have the ability to turn them off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 the fogs may be too much draw for the parking light circuit. use the parking light circuit to trigger a relay to power the fogs, that way they arent overloading that parking light circuit.
