if you hold the switch back instead of releasing it then they all stay on, im sure you could figure a way to make em both on.

i can see everything with high/low/fogs on at same time, but i cant sit there and hold it, thats not smart driving

Ok this is how you do it. Take the wire from the low beam. Cut it 3-4 inches after the socket.

then connect the wire to end of that and run it to the foglight spot in your fuse box.

Don't get all defensive. It doesn't make sense.

Take a wire and connect it to the End of the Low beam wire coming off the socket... this is the wire that you cut!

Then run that wire into your interior and connect it to the Lighting spot on your fuse box..

Understand it better?

That's much easier to understand. Thank you. No reason to get all upset and start using exclamation points on me.

No offense but i rarely see people putting effort into things and always want to be told out right how to do it.

Like people are IMing me asking me how to install a S2000 gauge cluster into a EG and they expect me to tell them outright.. Ive spent over a 100 hours trying to figure it out and i havent even finished it and people expect me to tell them.. haha sorry not that easy

Do a write-up? I think this would solve 99% of those PMs you get.

I wont do a write up. Cause id like to have something that makes me different than all the other EG's out there..

Like my IS300 Retrofit. ill never reveal the mounts for that. I like to be Unique which is very hard to do with our cars.

Well, then you need to stop complaining about getting PMs about it then. You can either: Stop whining about getting PMs about things you do to your car. Or, you can post up write ups so others can learn.

DUde, who are you to tell him? JDMlyfestyle has already done a bunch of helpful writeups. If i were him, i wouldn't tell people how to do stuff like the IS300 foglights retrofit either. It is very hard to be unique, and it must be very satisfying knowing that you have something on your car that no one else does.

That's true. He has done a bunch of helpful write ups, I wasn't talking about those. He specifically used the example of the s2k cluster in his and about people PMing him about those, that's what I was referring too.
