Scroll Down to Post #31 You´ll see the Pics.
Yup it Will work as Usual But you can Turn them On with Parking Lights Now! Instead of Only Headlights.

Its Pretty Straight forward.

Yes the version in the video above allows FULL control over the fog lights. You can turn them on and off however you please. They become independent of the headlights and parking lights.

I want them dependent of the parking lights. You turn off the parking lights they turn off. Not full control.

oh sorry i guess i misread your post. i believe version 1 is what you want.

i love having full independent control of the fogs though. i just use the fogs as DRLs now actually. they are always on.

Yup I Agree w/03tLsNBP fully Independent Control IS the way to Go!
Besides with this Mod is like having DRLs not like Ver. 1 that is fully dependant of Parking Lights...

I think is a Matter of Self-Discipline if you go into your car just Push that little Button with a Little Fog on it and DONE! Fogs are Dead, If you want them with Parking Lights you just PUSH THE DAMN BUTTON and Voalá!!! Fogs are ON its not that Hard isnt It? I Mean at Least you can Decide WHEN and HOW they Turn On.

Well I disagree. I'm happy you have full control, but I think its retarded that I have to hit a switch everytime I want my fogs to turn off. If I space to turn off yet ONE MORE switch. Id rather them turn off with my parking lights because I only roll with them on with my parking lights. Make sense? Ok good.

All i did was just tap into the parking lights and hooked the fogs up with the harness from DDM tuning. pretty easy and simple.

now they turn on or off when the parking lights do.

Simran4h, just pull the fog light switch, tap the Red/White wire, and the Red/Black wire and connect the two. I put a fuse inline just for safety matters but I don't think it matters.
