I've searched..couldn't find a thread that really stated if if could be done by a simple wire tap.

I've searched for it to and was unsuccessful. I ended up unplugging the stock wires from the bulbs and running my own circuit. I disconnected my DRL and use the fogs for DRLs most of the time.

08 wdp type s

how was it done please explain it nice n slow ...i always wondered the same thing but never wanted to rig anything to mess anything up i got a 08 type s i wanna have my foglights come on wen ever not only when my headlights r on...i got HIDs in my foglights too so it might b easier to do

ahhh this would be so nice....the yellow DRLs are gross and I'd love to drive with just the parking and fogs on. Would look pretty badass I think.

MDX's can do it. Pisses me off (just a little - envy I guess) everytime I see one with Fogs only on.

There was, I thouht, a long thread on doing this. Not sure if a good solution was found where all the various light up options worked and not dummy lights got thrown.

you cant on the tl it's tied into the f-can n b-can so you cant feed signals down the line because the computer knows the circuit is off. something would blow for sure unless u added a separate switch thats signaled as "on" when the parking lights are turned on and then u press the button that activates a relay to turn them on. personally i just put a switch in because im using hids

08 wdp type s

im using hid fogs also how did u wires urs...? it comes on wen u want it to come one ..or only wen lights r on

Tripnbeats

i wired mine to a separate switch panel i made for all the lil extras in the car ( train horn compressor, amps, train horn pressure valve release and 2 sets of hids) the one thing you can do is tap into the signal wire that tells the computer the parking lights are on from the accord fog switch to activate....then u can turn them on without the headlights but the parking lights have to be on....another option is to connect the switch to a 12volt accessory somewhere under the dash.

TnB, do you think it is similar to this toyota system??

cos he just re-routes the fogs 12v power to any ignition on and apparently he can use the fogs like they are independent and control it with the OEM fog/auto/hi/lo stalk all independently.

Anyone care to look up the service manual wiring diagrams for this?

fade2blk

yes you can do it on the tl as well. all depends on how knowlegable you are. I know I am not in spelling......

any way. it is 12 volts so it is quite easy.

No reason to rewrite this. so I will just post links.
by the way you could use the factory switch just need to take the column apart to get to the wires.

so hope this helps a little, as far "f-can n b-can" it will not effect it.

Interesting! I'm gonna look into this....mdx cant have all the fun

I thought those lights on the MDX where its DRLs?

ASASN21

They are. My dad has the new MDX, fogs can't come on independently.

I've done this the hard way. I was probing around without my manual and blew an internal circuit within the drivers side fuse box. What I ended up doing was tapping directly out of the combination switch (fog switch output) before the steering control module to run my own relay circuit to the fogs. Leave the fog lamp signal wire from the combination switch connected so you will still get the fog lamp indicator lamp from the cluster. (note the fog lamp indicator in the cluster will only display with the parking/headlights are switched on [fog lamps will still work without parking/headlights, you just wont get the indicator without the parking/headlight circuit on]) If you have a manual you will see that the combination fog switch operates the ground leg of the fog lamp signal circuit. This can be used as a ground side for an additional relay circuit for switching fogs without the headlights. Remember to run a new power to the relay from a main battery source for the fog lights. Also to run the positive switching/signal side of your additional relay from a switched power (ignition on) circuit so your fogs will switch off when the key is removed.
