Headlights/Fog lights

[reyesa21]

just thought of this today. curious if it would work and if it would be a good idea.lol so get high/low beam HIDs for headlights and foglights and some how wire the fogs to run with the headlights. it probably stupid but just curious and wanna be a bit obnoxious

Why don't you just get a fog wiring harness?

Yeah I'd just get the separate fog relay harness.

 

[reyesa21]

what is tht?

With most kits you get a harness or relay harness that are pretty much plug and play. You should just get a separate one for each so you don't stress your wiring plus it'll be a cleaner install that way.

the fogs normally run with the lows you have to do something extra to get them to run on with highs

This something involves a couple of diodes and some wire. I did something similar to make my 1st gen headlights lows and highs come on at the same time.

my mazda does that from the factory

Because they are separate bulbs.

U bastard

so how would any of that work. cuz i dont really know what a wiring harness and what not is. i only knowa lil bout the lighting.

 

[dman090]

just splice the foglight wires into the headlight wires i would imagine.

I have fogs with HIDS coming in this week and there getting wired to the running lights(with a relay of course)The running light circuit is gonna be the trigger for the fog light relay.

If you wire the HID's directly to the headlight circuit it'll be too much of a load for the fuse/factory wiring.You would need to add a relay and pull power from the positive jump starter post.

my friend did that with his duramax and im trying to figure out the same thing.. I think he jumpered something in the fuse box.. maybe used a Diode.. cant remember what exactly he said but i was thinking about just wiring them up on a separate switch completely to stay on all the time

Did you really have to bring up a year old thread?
