OKAY I HAVE JDM FOGLIGHTS ON MY EH3 (H/B SI 93) AND MY <U>FOGLIGHTS ARE ON ONLY WHEN I HAVE ALL MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED ON</U>...............................(IT'S NOT DEPO FOGS). ....I WANTED TO KNOW HOW CAN I REWIRE SO WITHOUT TURNING ON HEADLIGHTS TO HAVE MY FOGSLIGHT ON FOR DAYTIME DRIVING ????????

 

But to awnser your question, all you have to do is rewire the foglight main power wire to an individual switch. Just remember to put a fuse on it.

 

its a 2 step process

1) take off capslock - i now cannot use a capitol letter in this thread because you already used too many

2)what phone jack looking plug did you plug the fog lights into under the dash? i think different ones do different things.

my fogs work when my parking lights are on, regardless of if my headlights are on.

 

take the two positive from the fog lights and run it to a switch (where you can buy at a auto store for a few bucks). and from the switch to a positive somewhere in your car. behind the radio,under the steering column. hope that helps

 

Mine come on when I have just parking lights.



Try moving the plug in slot #4 (Option 19) to slot #1 (Batt).

 

^^^^^^^^^^might have a great idea on the socket part of it.

i know when i installed the EK fogs on my buddys S2K i put in a switch so that when he has the key in the acc position and with the car running or not, he can swith them on. if thats what your looking for then PM me and i will send you step by step pics of the install.

 

is there a way i can rewire where the switch is at ?

Why don't you try to use my method? I'm sure it will work. It's very logical that it would.

 

it's actually illegal to run fogs without headlights in TN. i don't know about anywhere else

Generally everywhere else, as well as having them on with high beams.


People for some reason thing that fog lights are meant to 'throw more light out there' at night to see better. That is not their purpose, they are meant to help you see through fog.

Cheers.

that law doesnt make sense to me.... in heavy fog or heavy snow i see best with the foglights and parking lights on only. headlights of any kinda make everything too bright.

 

okay....let me explain it again.......my fog lights is wired into my harness....not aftermarket stuff....factory fogs....

lol u used it.

 

Find the power wire and wire it to a power source such as the battery or one of those accessory outlets on your underdash fuse box.

 

do yall happen to knoe which is the power wire....?

 

dude the factory fogs run into that same option. if you look at the underdash panel it should still plug in right there.

 

I'm going to put mine in the E spot

Ok, let me tell you again. Factory fogs are wired to the accessory slots on the fusebox. Move the the wire from the 4th position to the 1st position.

no, the 1st position on the left will be hot at all times, so will the 2nd, stock placement is in the 4th position to come on with the lights, either parking or low/high beams, then the 3rd and 5th spots are hot in RUN, so you turn the car on and the fogs come on, if the switch is on

Those are other options. I thought he wanted them to come one whenever he wished.

Crap, I would have moved one wire for $100.

 

If you need to pay someone $100 to move a wire maybe you should invest in a new hobby
