heh, i posted the diagram at the same time you posted. Great minds think alike Thanks for your help in finding an answer for this variance.

THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ONLY FOR AN 05 TYPE FUSE BOX

Basically you take a thin wire, I used 24 gauge, stuff one end of it on the bottom right corner connector of the foglight relay, and stuff the other end of it into the 6th hole from the left on the bottom row of the headlight relay box connector.

These pics show you the detail:

NOW SOMEONE PLEASE FIND OUT HOW TO DO IT FOR AN 04 TYPE FUSE BOX

they turn on and off with the headlights (lowbeam). it effectively shorts out hte fog circuit by taking either the ground or the power from the headlight circuit. the foglight uses a relay which then hits up the software in the front ecu. this is why there's no other way to jerry rig it to stay on, unless you rewrite the front ecu somehow. but even then i think it's a hardprinted circuit board.

Is it possible to swap the USDM front ecu with a JDM front ecu?
