Ok, I got into it today and did the full install. I didn't have to do any wiring on the inside of the car because I modded the wire loom that came with my AM fogs and they came on with no problem. Additionally, the Duralast stalk from Autozone worked just fine.

I'm thinking that because you have both the console switch and the stalk switch, that might have something to do with the need for the additional ground.

I have working fog lights now!!!

i got my stalk out of pakistan so its probabably something about being a "euro" LHD stalk?....not sure, heck maybe the duralast just grounds that bit internaly for dual ground points..wouldnt be the first time ive seen aftermarket parts "shorten" the need for grounds internaly

my console switch needed a re-wire on the relay side to have them work together but that aside the ground was specific to the stalk i used

Interesting. Yeah, I was able to find a LHD from Lithuania on eBay, but I didn't want to wait so long on shipping so I went with the Duralast one. I'm glad you got your fogs working and so far I am really enjoying mine.

im curious if the switches work the same....when i turn the headlights off it forces the fog section to turn and go off as well

Mine does the same thing, when I turn off the headlights my fogs turn off too.

Is the harness for the dash button also used for the stalk? I just bought a stalk and wanna make sure i get the correct harness.

NO, but you "can" make them work together if you really want to....but honestly go the stalk route its less prone to fail

I bought my fog light stalk through the dealership. I think it was about $105. I did not have to do any wiring inside the car. Everything was just plug and play.

Eventually I wanted my fog lights to be turned on independently of the headlights. I also wanted the fogs to stay on with the high beams. So I removed the DRL relay under the dash and connected a the orange wire that (originally plugged into the DRL relay) to ground.

I grounded that pin and it didn't work for me.

On vehicles that have that pin wired in the harness, where does it output to? Meaning, if i want to copy the stock wiring, where would i have to run that wire and connect it to?
