Post DIY High Beam + Fogs Mod!!

So Basically to get the White/Blue Cable Mentioned Before (Here:https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-1999-2003-98/help-fog-light-mod-801563/) since the Fog Relay is under the Right part of The Dashboard getting to its fairly Difficult, So figure out that the cable came directly from the combination Switch Using this Diagram:

Explained (Hope I dont Confuse Anyone):
The Red Box seems to be the Conection when the Low Beam are on the bridge is set to give Negative feed to the (No. 9 Cable White/Blue) from (No. 11 Cable Negative Landing) but in the Yellow Circles show that when the High Beams are on the Switch Disconnects the No.9 and give it to (No.10 High Beam Dash Light) So the Black Circles show the Negative feeds No. 11 Gives all the Negative feed to this socket so i Think if directly Bridging this two would get my Mod done....






Getting the Lower Wheel Plastic off to get to the Combination Switch Socket:




Procedure:
Tap the White-Blue Cable




To the No. 11 Negative Feed:


Put all Together and Test The Final Results:





So Everything Works Flawleslly the Fog Mod Ver. 2.0 works like it used to, The fogs doesnt remain On at all without key, everything its like always except that the Fogs doesnt turn Off Now when the High Beams are On.

PD: Hope this Work for Everyone out There, And yes my car needs a Paint Job done lol.

Well 4 Months Ago Now.

Everything works Great not a Single Issue at all.
I recommend this to everyone who has to travel trough very dark highways or back Roads its just very helpful, Had to travel to Arizona at 1 am - 3 am and WoW having
Fogs (HID 8K) all the time + Highs (HID 6K) really light up the road incredible well. Had to low down the Highs a couple of times for Incoming traffic but its reasonable but not a problem just waited until its clear and turn them On again, Havent had a Single issue with Highway Patrol.

Ive got my first Personal Mod done right lol.



NOTE: !! This DIY is Not to blind people or Abuse it !!
Its meant to help folks who travel at Night most of the Times, Its Illegal to do This Mod so Use it at your Own Risk.

Autozone sells the Add a Circuit Blocks ("Tap-In-Line") thats why I said Tap.

Just Bridge the White/Blue Cable to the Negative Feed using the method you prefer.

A good bump revival just to say Almost 4 years with this mod and its still running!! Hope it ever gets to the official DIY list hahaha


And yes this is illegal in many states do it at your own risk and remember not to blind any oncoming traffic! this is for back-roads with low traffic at night and highways but minding your fellow humans...

Skirmich, does this mod make it so that the fog lights are on all the time (without having the fog light switch on)? Or does this mod make it so that the fogs can be switched on or off by the fog light switch regardless of whether the high beams are on?

You have complete control of your fogs, This only bypasses the fog relay so the fogs don't turn off with the high beams. 4 years with this mod now and it's working fine to this day!

Just beware that in most states it's illegal to drive with High Beams and Fogs so keep it to empty roads or low traffic only.

Happy Holidays! and Drive Safe!

I think I read in another one of your posts or threads titled "Help with Fog light mod!!!" that you have done the fog light mod 2.0. Is that true? That is, do you have a 12 volt signal going to your red/white wire (i.e., the 12 volt when the low beams are on) that is connected to the ACC via the driver side fuse box?

Yup that's the Fog Light Mod 2.0! So I can run my fogs anytime with just the key on Position II with full switch functionality.
