I just installed foglights for my car...and i was wondering if i can make my fog lights independent. Basically, i can turn them on and off whenever i want it; as of right now it turns on when the headlights turn on. Is there any other way besides tapping with parking lights?

 

run them entirely on their own power source, dont tap into anything, except a 12v source and a ground. then just run the switch. you can have it on whenever the hell you want then

 

so dont use the relay at all?

 

???

 

wire them to a switch...?

 

you could wire them to the power wire that lights up the parking lights or you can tap the power wire from the fogs into the stereo. i forgot how i did it but i got them to turn on and off whenever i want.

i was just about to post that . thats how i did mine .easy took about 10 minutes

 

PERFECT!!! tiiight!

 

i hope it helps

 

i just wired everything up now according to your guide...now my cluster/climate control bulbs wont light up at all..any ideas?

 

wtff......

 

hahaha just did that...instrument fuse blew!

 

cool writeup, any pics of the new setup? will a tiny screwdriver work good enuff?

 

honestly i'd use one of those metal toothpick things that dentists use...its much easier than a jewler's tool, cause one plug took me like 10 mins to get out...maybe i just suck ..but thats my opinon

btw who ever does this...change your instrumental fuse from a 7amp to a 15 amp

 

people do that all the time when they cant find the right fuse and the need one to replace the blown one.

 

nam send me some pics!!! if you got the kit it should have come with its own relay that goes in the dash for you to use!

 

My kit cam with the relay and then I attached it to the battery for its own power sorce and grounded it. Simple, works whenever I hit the button

 

is it the same kit i got nam? if so it should have come with its own relay but just hook it up to your own switch and it should be good!!!
