  • Any way to get the fog lights to automatically turn on?

    I know this was discussed almost 3 years ago and I read through that thread. I've also searched on google and read other threads about this, but they're all from 2006, so I'm hoping there might be some newer info on this. Basically, I'd like to have the fog lights automatically turn on when the headlights/parking lights turn on. I've seen the rubber band mod where you keep the fog light button pressed down permanently, but that turns on the parking lights at the same time. I'd only want the fog lights on at night, not during the day when the DRLs are on. On my last two cars, I always kept the fog light switch in the on position and that worked great for me. But now, I never remember to turn them on. Any way to replace the switch or reprogram whatever controls the fog lights?

          The only thing I found in there was a thread about the rubber band mod which I don't want as I don't want the fog lights on during the day and another thread about turning the fog lights into DRL's. However, this second thread got me thinking. Is there a way to hook up some kind of relay into the parking lights, so that when the parking lights go on, the fog lights go on as well?

            parking lights will go on with drl's so that would just trigger the fogs to come on

              I'll have to check tomorrow during the day, but I don't remember the parking lights being on with the DRL's.

                My parking lights don't come on with the DRL's. I don't think they are supposed to.

                  DRL's are the headlights only. If you turn the fogs on, whilst in DRL mode then the headlights shut off, and the fogs/parking lights come on.

                  If the parks came on with DRL's there would really be no point in them, since it would be pretty much the same as if the lights were just all the way on.

                    except tail light wouldnt be on so it wouldnt be like they were all on

                    i wasent really sure if the parks came on.. never looked just figured they did.. so now that seems like you may be able to make something like that come into effect, make your fogs come on with the light sensor?

                      Re: Any way to get the fog lights to automatically turn on?

                      Back in my ricer days, I had some neon lights hooked up to the fuse box in my ZX2, so that when I turned the lights on, it turned on my neons up front as well. I just put the positive inside the fuse connection, and grounded out the other side on the frame. Worked pretty well.


                      So, if you wanted to, you could cut the wires going to the fogs, and wire them up so that when you turn your lights on, they come on as well. I don't know if this would include the daytime lights though... But if the fusebox for the headlights is in the engine compartment, it would be pretty easy to do!

                        you wouldn't even need to cut any wires, just run a jumper wire between the relay for the fog lights and the relay for the parking lights so that when the parking lights come on so do the foglights. an added benefit is that when you turn on your high beams your foglights would remain on...nothing like all 6 bulbs shining on the road at once

                          This sounds a lot like what I want and seems like it's easily doable. I'll have to pass this by my friend that knows car electrical better then I do and see what he says.
