I've been searching online for a way to keep the fogs on without needing to turn the headlights on for a while. Recently I stumbled upon a brief DIY on another forum. Thought I'd try to make a little write-up with more pics to make things easier for anybody who might be interested in doing this. I've only had this done to my car for a little over a week and haven't had any problems so far so..... TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Here's what your going to need:
•male connector
•15 fuse (blue)
•add-a-circuit wire/fuse jumper







1. Remove the fog light relay (fuse box, engine bay)
2. Insert the male connector into the slot as shown in the pic







3.insert the other end into the fuse slot as shown in pic




4. Enjoy!





•Another thing you guys should know about this method is that the fogs will ALWAYS stay on for as long as the car is on/running.

•You CANNOT manually turn the fogs on/off

•Upon turning off the car, the fogs will stay on for another 10seconds before automatically turning off.

•Fogs stays on with high beams.


Hope this helped somehow.

 

damn ive been trying to figure this one out for a long time
will be doing this very soon!
thanks!

 

Lol me too! Who knew it was this simple! Haha

Good luck bro.

 

but is there was another way where u can make the on/off switch work i have seen...

 

If you have access to the electronic module that lets you customize ETACS options on the car... you can just plug it into the car and enable the option that allows you to operate the fog lights independently of the headlights.

does that thing really work??

 

So any brave souls tried this on an VIII yet? thoughts?

 

Nice I might try this for the winter

 

Does this allow the fog lights to be on while the high beams are on?

 

lol i would like to know this as well. I know you can do it with on a VIII with 5relays and seemed to work well

 

Yes!

 

^ what's your set up for your high beams? just bulbs and ballasts? lovin' the set up...gonna fix my fogs today.

 

Highs are Nokya 2300k bulbs. Lows are 55w 6ks. Fogs are 35w 3ks.

 

couldn't you technically run a switch off of the wire?

 

Technically you could. Just have to run it all the way through the firewall.
