Fog light question

[heeroyuy01195]

is there any way to get the OEM foglights to turn on by themselves without the headlights?

Yes - Instead of of connecting the wire from pin 4 to pin 13, connect it to pin 11 (which is a white wire with a black stripe). Then, it will turn on with or without the headlights.

Yes. To make it easier for tapping the wires together (so you are tapping same sized wires together), connect the wire from pin 4 to pin 7 (the smaller white wire with a black stripe, 3rd from the right in the picture above).

Yes. But, with this wiring change you will be able to turn on the fogs without turning on the headlights.

Alright, I tried that option, and the HID was making noise, and the plug wasnt plug in so I put back the wire the way it was, maybe I connected the wrong wire, but you said the the third wire to the right (white with a black line), I heard that noise and just put back the wire. If you have a option that I can run with holla, and if possible with a pic of the harness with plug and the right wire to use. Please hit me up when you can thanxs.

Thanks for all of the info, so just to clarify...I should connect the wire from pin 4 to pin 7 and NOT pin 11 like in the earlier post? I have HIDs in my foglights as well. The kit that I used has a connector on the relay harness that plugs into one of the foglight plugs that the bulb normally plugs into (doesn't matter which) and then power is tapped from the battery with a ground wire connected. The HID bulbs are connected tot he ballasts which are connected to the relay harness. I hope that wasn't too confusing lol.

OK - That gives me a bit more of a picture. The kit is taking the stock fog light feed and uses it to drive the coil of a relay. The contacts of that relay then switch battery power to the fogs.

Either 7 or 11 should work. They are both grounds. The reason I recommended 11 over 7 is that the wire is the same gauge as 4, so tap splicing is easier.

Well I tried and the plug was connected and the HIDs were clicking, my option and Brians as well, is to use the cables set to the the projector fogs, it is very easy to install and it has a switch for the function, I really wanted to use the stalk switch but this what I need to do. With this I can turn on the fogs when I want with no hassle, thanxs CT and thanxs brian, I told you that I would use you option or opinion. Thanks to all. Holla at your boy.
