DRL FOG's
 
I know this has been discussed already, but cant seem to find the post.

1. How do you convert your Fog lights to the DRL's?

2. Is it possible to convert the Highbeams to the DRL's?


Thanks!

Looks good thats exaclty what im trying to do, what wires are they? sorry not understanding what wires are to be switched around?

Swap the fog light wiring with headlight wiring?

Please explain, thanks!

i dont remember which wire u have to extend..i'm pretty sure its the fogs wire..
and thenn just switch the wires from the lowbeam to the fogs...extending it is pretty easy just solder a piece of wire together and theree..put sum water resistant tape around it
just 4 protection.
i believe any copper wire will do..not sure though.
also. make sure ur fog bulbs are 55w
if u have 80w or 100w, u risk melting ur fuse. that'll b expensivee

this is a pic of HomieG and I @ a meet with our HIDs n fogs
installing HIDs after the conversion will not cause any problems.

As long as you don't install HIDs for your fog lights, you'll be all set. I have HIDs on all 3 sets of lights, so I'm just waiting for a chance to play around with running a wire through the firewall. Until then, my lights are always on and I just let the car turn them off automatically.

i have a DE model which means i dont have the fog lights.. does anyone know anyone who is selling their fog lights?

pikahasalancer Jun 21, 2008 12:46 AM

i know the hid diy guides that are stickyed talk about parking light routing or something like that but i'm not sure what that means....

so my question is can this be done to do drl parking lights? instead of the fogs or the headlights?
