Default GX Foglight Mod--DONE/Working

Ok I finally researched and found with some help this foglight mod to have them on whenever you would like--IE without Your headlights on and with high beams on too.

I only did Part one cause I dont really car about the high beam part--I may do it latter/ I can tell you Part one works perfect and takes 15 minutes to do

Booyah..the Part one for the power source, as there is already a Relay for the IG, did you use the Seat Heater Relay for the power source. lemme know. I do not want any thing getting shot.

How has this mod held up? No GX's have burned down have they? Does anyone know of a way to wire this differently so that if you use the foglights independent of the headlights the DRLs turn off?

I'm going to do this mod this weekend. Compared to the 4Runner I should have it wired correctly below but just to make sure, am I using the correct relay pin? I don't want to bend the wrong pin then try and bend it back and it snap off.









What type of mini add a fuse are yall using to tap into the heated seats?


EDIT:
I ended up getting the 90°.....

I saw that in the link but I decided to go w/ the 90° add a fuse instead.

I read too many people complaining about the straight top stretching out the female terminal that the fuse plugs into (in our case the heated seat terminal) and if you want to go back to stock, not using the mod, the fuse won't be snug and won't complete the circuit.
