Accord 2004 EX V6 Fog with parking lights
How can I modify the factory fogs so I can turn them on whenever I like -OR- Have them turn on with my parking lights. Stock they can only be turned on with the driving (low beam) lights.

found this instrution on another forum.here are the instructions.
these instructions are Do-It-Yourself! they may or may not woid your warranty! they may or may not **** up your car! you assume all risks if you try this mod! questions are welcome, complaints are not! thanks
In the 7th Gen fog switch there are 5 wires:
Red/Blk - Hot with Parks & Heads on / In for illumination
Red - Out for illumination control
Blue - Hot with Heads on only / In for switch
Green - Out from switch to Relay #2
Black - Ground wire
**only the Red/Blk & Blue wires are actually hot**
1) You don't need to remove the dash or anything! Simply use a small hook tool, & pull the outer trim on the 3 switch panel. the panel & all 3 switches with pop out together.
2) Unplug the 3 switches from their wiring harnesses. Put switches aside in a safe place.
3) Peel back black electrical tape / wiring cover to allow yourself more slack to work with. You can use scissors or a razor but be careful not to cut any wires!
4) Cut the blue wire, leaving at least 3 inches of slack on the plug end. Strip a small section of the plug end. Cover the firewall end with a small piece of electrical tape.
5) Splice into the Red/Black wire, but do not cut it!!!
6) Connect the plug end of the Blue wire to the spliced Red/Black wire. You can do this with butt connectors, soldering, or simply threading the wires together & capping them. It a personal preference, so do what you're comfortable with.
7) Double check all connections. Plug fog switch back in only & test! do not put back into dash.
8) If successful, wrap all connections in electrical tape. Plug all switches back in. Mount panel back into dash with slight pressure
9) Enjoy!!!
