Default foglights wired to daylights

i was wondering if there is a way to wire the fogs to the daytimes because it would save more power for me and i think it would look bad ***

run the power wire from your daylight to your fog and change the fuse? something along the lines of that. ghetto but i think it may work

Careful cause the circuit was not ment to handle that much load even if you go with a higher rated fuse you might toast the wire

you need to locate the wire which powers the foglight switch (power from the low beams) and cut it , then connect to the DRL output , it won't load the DRL circuit much b/c it is only switching the fog relay

Has anyone done this before on our cars? Ive been wondering the same thing. Back on my MK3, a friend rewired my fogs to turn on w/o the headlights being on but it was dark and he pretty much did the whole thing.

^^^ALL THE LINKS ABOVE ARE FOR FOG LIGHT EWD.

EDIT: damn i forgot to get the parking lights for USA models lol. so canada models can use fog with DRL. USA models can use fog with parking lamps on. i will get the EWD for parking lamps for USA models tomm!!!



ALRIGHT!!! so there were EWDs for "turn sig. bulbs" then there was an EWD for "clearance bulbs" and here they are:

I have JDM headlights and i have like a 12 led 194 in there and it doesen't give that much light... plus u cannot have the fogs and daylights on just by themselves unless you wire your fogs to the daylights. I wonder what bulb they where using...

You can have your fogs on by themselves without connecting to daylights(circuit cannot handle it ) the fog light cicuit only receives a ground signal(i believe) only when the headlights r on. The way to defeat this is to use a switched ground(active when the car is on) then u will be able to turn on you fogs @ anytime using the factory switch and they turn off when u turn off the ignition
