Are you going to be selling these? It may have been stated somewhere else but didnt want to read through all the pages. Sorry for being lazy.

nice. i hope your presentation went well. you havent mentioned this-does it illuminate the dash light "fog" indicator??

sooo, basically, your latching the switch and ground together via your relays??

Yes it does iluminate the dash light and they shutoff when you turn the key off if you wire it to keyed powerOriginally Posted by badhabit90

.Its latching the fog lamp relay and ground together.
UPDATE
I am a free man again. I got all the outstanding orders caught up last night. However I did not ship them today because even though they bench tested fine I want to test them in my car tonight real quick just to make 100% sure.
So EVERYONE waiting for a unit that has paid they are going in the mail TONIGHT and I can take pictures of me dropping them off to prove it if need be
Gonna have some time to make some more this weekend. Now that I have a printed circuit board and a simplified design assembly is pretty quick.
I have a ton of PMs over the last couple months so if you expressed an interest at some point in time and I do not get back to you by tomorrow please send me a new PM and we can work out the details.
I know I told many of you I would contact you when I got some ready, but the list is long and dissorganized so hit me up if you don't hear from me soon!
NOTE
Incase you missed the info with the last update the model has changed and you do HAVE to cut the wire to your switch and splice in the module, this is because I found the ECM is putting 2 volts on the line for sensing and it won't hurt my circuit but I want to be damn sure I am not bleeding my 5 volts (what I use for sensing) back to the ECM. So its one more hookup and adds about 10 seconds of work.

Awesome job!
One suggestion. Since people will likely be using these as DRL's, perhaps you could integrate a power step down so the fog lights only output 50% when not used in conjunction with the headlights.

no way! I want as much power as possible, otherwise theres no point having them on in the first place! Also take a look at the c5 corvette, it uses drl's in the form of parking lamps which look 3 times brighter than when you use your parking lamps at night, you need the brighter light to be seen in the day... just one example...Originally Posted by binarysleep

okay, thank you boosTED. def. hit me with one when they are ready. new simplified design is working better eh??

Welcome to the free world.. Although i've been soldering capacitance based boards to wiring harnesses all day for the new keyless entry system for buick or something like that... (I think i might wire one up to my B-pillar... touch-sensitive keypad entry that cannot be seen when not activated mmm) haha
Thanks for the hard work bro, its much appreciated!

Made a few more this weekend, but ran short on a couple parts. I got a few out from what I made and I am only two behind now, but I have an additional 5 ready to go minus one part I am ordering today and I will have 9 more this coming weekend. So thats 14 in addition to to the existing orders that I will have done and ready to go at a moments notice. It feels nice to be caught up.

How's the soldering coming along? I just peeled a crap load of solder out of my work pants, not fun. I'm glad i'm a mechanical engineer instead.. haha
