That was the original fog light mod where the fogs can be turned on with the parking lights. This mod allows you to have the fog lights on without even the parking lights on.

 

so how can i do this mod without using the add a circuit thing?

 

Just tap a 12V wire that is on when the key is inserted and on the second position. If you dont want them to shut off when starting the car.... just tap the positive 12V wire that the add-a-circuit that was supposed to plug into.

 

Bxscig, so with this mod, when you turn the highbeam on the fogs turn off???

if yes, does it turn off only if the fogs are on with the acc? does highbeam turn off if the fogs are on normally (meaning, lowbeams and parking lights on)

 

How'd you do that in only 5 minutes? And did you just cut those wires and swapped them?

 

Just did this 2 nights ago and this thread showed me exactly how to do this. It actually took me longer to drive around and get the add-a-circuit and diode than it took me to finish. Thanks Bxscig!

 

can somebody show me the link to the ORIGINAL fog light mod page... ive been using search in every way possible to find it and i cant....

 

This is the fog light switch harness and swtich. I had to undo the original fog light mod and taped up the two wires.



Just another shot



What do you mean in this part? This is the part I'm confused at. What two wires do you tape up?

Please help me out. Thanks.

 

Its been a while but there was the original fog light mod where you splice those two wires together that allows you to turn on the fogs lights w/o headlights but the parking lights had to be on. If no other work was done, you can skip this part.

Sorry for the confusion

 

What happens if i skip this step? Will the fog lights just turn on w/o the parking lights?

 

That step can be skipped if the wires were never touched before. I had cut the plastic off the wire before so I can to tape it back up.

 

OK thanks. One more question. ^Is that the switch/harness from the switch with the green light for the fog light? Thanks Bxscig!

 

I have no idea what you guys need this for. Then, again I might just be an Idiot.

 

Does anyone know which harness to tap into?

 

Yup. Just pop it out from the dash and you will see that harness on the back of the switch.

 

thanks a lot!

 

thanks a lot!

 

Thanks a lot!

 

Guys, I've been reading all these posts and I seem to be confused.
what is the easiest way to make this where I can turn the fogs on/off?

 

This mod lets the fogs work independant of the headlights. If you want just the fogs on with nothing else - this will do that. IF you want NO fogs on all you have to do is turn the switch to off. But if I can figure it out in under 5 min. ANYBODY can - trust me Bxscig did a great job with this! and he was very helpful when I asked a stupid question too!

 

oh wow.. i actually re-read all of this and finally understand how to do it haha... but one thing is how were you able to make the "add a circuit".. im most confused from this part...








like how to make that wire and instead of having the fuses face up its facing down..

 

You buy the add-a-circuit from Advance or Auto Zone, it's only a couple of dollars. then you just need the fuse, diode and the connectors and your done!

 

nice very easy less than 20 minutes

 

Dude... not a good way to start off...

 

Ok so I looked under the dash last night cause I really wanna do this mod but I don't see any fuses at all, just wire harness' any suggestions?

 

The fuse panel is located on the side of the dashboard. It's not under the dash, but in the area of the dash that is covered by the door when it is closed. It's under a plastic panel that is labed 'fuse'.

 

Does anyone know what the red taps are used for and if I need to buy extra wire to hook the add-circuit- to the diode?

 

So I finally got all the parts. i made the add a circuit with the diode, turned the correct way. I then got some 10 guage wire and used electrical taped it to the end of the diode and used the tape with white/red wire. I then plugged in the add circuit and I get the above mod to work. Can someone please tell me what's wrong? I even re-did the add circuit just to make sure. I'm thinking its the wire tap and how it's not connected correctly? Any ideas?

 

Correction I meant I could not get the mod to work.

 

I would really like to finish this MOD, can someone help me correct my issue? I also managed to throw both the check engine and srs code. But I've searched and will fix that later today after I complete this mod. Please help

 

Well, let's see. Did you use the blue wire taps to connect everything into the MIDDLE wire on the back of the plug? I know the first time I tried it (I must have been smokin' something ) I managed to get the wrong wire and I lost my gauges and my Transmission went into 'safe' mode because I blew a fuse. other than that make sure the connections are secure, wiggling the wire around by putting things back togther could have seperated something. By the way, you can pull the clock backup fuse on th passenger side fuse panel to reset your CEL if needed. Hope this helps!

 

I was able to correct everything last night! I redid everything and used a butt connector to connect the diode to the wire. I also was able to fix the check engine light and srs light. Thanks for the help! Now I just gotta order me some HID fog lights!

 

i just did this mod a few minutes ago, but i didnt use a diode and i taped into the acc on the ignition harness. i hope i dont run into any problems

 

Well as far as the diode goes - it's a safety precaution. It'll work without one, but the diode keeps the power from back feeding through the circuit. For example, if you used the power from the radio without the diode it could feed power from the foglights back into the radio.
For the power, did you use a in-line fuse? You don't want too much going into your switch. Potential of frying the switch or worse.
Was there a reason you did it different?

 

now that u metion it, im going to put a fuse on it tomorrow morning

 

Always a good idea when working with anything electrical

 

Great DIY! Thanks to Dan (FirePR2002), I now have this great v2.0 Fog Light Mod. This is how I always wanted it but never got around to messing with it. Dan, actually had some parts and made everything for me and he helped me install it today.

During the install, we actually triggered the CEL and SRS lights, but we got that reset so all is good. Thanks again for this great DIY and here are some after pics of my setup and also a pic of the switch showing the lights are off but fog indicator is on (yes, i switched my led to amber instead of the standard green)

 

Does anyone have this problem of the fog button light sometimes coming on and other times not?

 

^ No.

I read the fog light mod DIY once and became confused very easily. It start off as a thread asking a question, then turns into a DIY.

I even printed it out and showed it to my father, who is very good with electric stuff, and I don't think he understood it either.

 

Where did the lip kit go?!
