Rewire foglights w/highbeams?
Has anybody figured out how to rewire your fog lights to stay on with the high beams?
I have mine rewired to come on with the parking lights and the low beams but they go out with the highbeams. Later Bill :dunno: |
you probably have the fog lights hooked directly to your lights, because I had that same problem when I first hooked up my indiglos... but the way I fixed it was......
I pulled the dash part off and just spliced the wire into the headlight power.......... Another way (and this is the way I hooked up my foglights) is to just say screw hookin it up to headlights and just hook it up to a switch, its pretty simple, and it only took about 5 minutes.. (i spent more time hiding the wires than i did hookin it up) but most cars i see at night with foglights turn off when the brights are on, i think that looks cool that way, but thats just my opinion, hope that helps out.. write again if you need electrical help... |
The reason why "most" cars (if not all with a few exceptions) turn off their fogs when their high's come on is because that's the legal way.
Legally, you're only allowed to have 2 sets of lights on at a time. So, the two setups are, low's and fog's, and low's and high's. As for a solution, you could probably set up a relay connecting your high's to your fog's. I really am not an expert in this area so I can't even begin to give you the diagram nor the pin numbers. But, if you search it up, I'm sure the relay is pretty simple. |
I work nights and travel mountain roads going to work at night.
I have about a 45 minite drive with deer, javelina and coyotes. More light is better. I have already hit a deer on my ninja and let me say "CRASHN' SUCKS". I did find a way to short out the switch and get all 6 lights to stay on but I don't know what that will do to the electrical system. So its back to fogs on with parking or lows. All 6 lights on - looks awesome. Later, Bill |
