HAs ne rewired the fogs on this car? im trying to rewire it to the parking lights or manually. if ne one knows how let me kno. thanks!!!

 

The 04 n up models??????

 

I did!!!

 

sick mod....question though...how would i go about rewiring the fog's on my 07' S type ???....thinking of getting yellow hid's for the fog's...but only being able to use them while my headlight's are on kinda has me bum'd...=\ thanks in advance

 

Im not sure on the 07's where all the wires are, but it's the same principal.

Using a standard automotive relay, 30a

- hook post 30 to positve battery post (use and inline fuse for this as well)
- hook post 85 to any ground
- hook post 87 to hot side of fog light
- and hook post 86 to the hot side of the parking light

This will get them to come on with the parking lights, which is how I wired mine. Now, this way, the foglights are also always on with the headlights and the switch on the stalk to turn the fogs on and off becomes inoperable. If you want to have separate control of the lights, you need to wire in a switch on post 86.

If you want to run them without the parking lights, instead of tapping the parking lights for the hot wire on post 86, run it to the green or green/white wire on the wiper motor. Not sure which one it was though, sorry.

 

Thank u!!! Im goin to do it now!!

 

good luck. It's pretty easy to do, just take your time!

 

do i have to use a relay? or that just to run the fogs by it self? im having a lil trouble is everything all in the fuse box n did u use a wire diagram for it? do u use extra wires to run it. show me a pic of what you did or something i dont want to screw ne thing up.

That was the 1st step....

 

nothing is in the fuse box. Buy a relay from autozone, get some wire if you dont have any, you will need to get to one of the parking light connectors, preferably by the drivers side near the battery, and the drivers side fog light connector. You will need new wire because you are basically splicing into current wires on the fog and parking lights. I just used those little t taps.....

Run one wire with an in-line fuse from the positive battery post to post 30 on the relay.

Run another wire from any ground to post 85 on the relay.

Run a third wire from the positive wire on the parking light connector to post 86 on the relay. Be careful here, there is one black wire and two red wires. One is for the parking light and one is for the turn signal. The one for the parking light is the one on the end of the connector.

Run the fourth wire from the positive side of the fog light connector to post 87 of the relay. The positive on the fog light is the blue/yellow one.

If you want a switch, it would be run from the parking light wire hooked to post 86 to basically interrupt the flow of current through there.

Hope that helps you.....

 

oh yeah, easiest way to get to the drivers side parking light connector is to crank the steering wheel all the way right, pull the fender liner back and then you can unplug it and if possible, run it through the fender well into the engine bay to get easy access to it for running the wires....

 

By any chance would there be an easier way in doing this? inside of running all of these wires? i still want ot use my stock fog switch.

 

not while using the stock switch unfortunately. The only other option is to run an aftermarket switch as I stated above. I was a bit dissappointed as well, but it is a lot easier than it sounds....

 

Theres no way you can do it from the the fuse box?
You cant just splice the wire that switches current onto the parking light wire that is triggered by the switch.

I was able to do this on a Nissan Pathfinder and a Maxima. I was just wondering if it was possible to do the same thing

I was able to use the stock fog light switch when the parking lights where on.

 

unfortunately, no one has figured it out yet. The problem is that stupid CAN Bus system that runs everything. It's a pain to wor around...

 

being that the canadian model has DRLs, couldn't we just get the part that allows the fogs to come on independently for our cars?

if we tapped the foglight wire with the wiper motor, could they be turned on and off with the stalk switch whenever?

 

I dont believe so. I think you still have to run a switch. If you run it to the wiper motor wire, you will constantly have power to the fogs, vs if you run it with the parking lights, you only get power with the parking lights, and therefore the headlights as well.

Either way, you will have to run a switch.

 

what kind of after market lights are you using for your fog lights?

They are in my sig, Raybrig bulbs, I think they are the "Shining Wizard" series if I remember correctly.

 

Yup I rewired the fogs on top n bottom.;....pretty sick setup these cars have with light pointing
