Rewiring factory fog lights

Does anybody know how to rewire the factory for lights so that they come on with the park lights instead of the head lights????????

That would probably take quite a bit of rewiring. There's a reason they come on with the headlights.
If you want them for show you can just install a dedicated switch/wiring and turn them on whenever you want.

antother related question... does anyone make foglights that resemble the color of the factory head lights? I know they are H11's (correct me if I am wrong)... but they really look yellow as comapred to the head lights.

You'll need new bulbs.. These'll work: http://www.hoen-usa.com/fog.htm

Others have used other brands too...

thats because FOG lights are supposted to be YELLOW....yellow works best in FOG, RAIN, SLEET, and SNOW....

if you want them for SHOW change them.......if you want them to actually see in those conditions....leave them

I actually like that they are the regular colored bulbs. Makes the HID's stand out a lot more.
