Fog Lights to run with Park Lights
Does anyone know how to rig the Factory fog lights to run while the park lights are on? I think its cool to see a car driving with only the park lights and fog lights. Thanks

Find the fog light wires that are probably wired in to the headlight wires and tap them into the parking lights instead.

Why not just have the fogs and parking/headlights run independently from each other? So you can just turn on your fogs whenever you like. Thats how I have mine.

I bought my fog light kit from the dealer and installed them myself, has anyone did this modification or are we all just giving advise of what they think will work? If you have done it any advice of How To would be appreciated.
ARe you getting an oem fog light or oem knock-off switch or are you buying aftermarket... if oem then it'll come with a relay switch for your to run your lights while your parking light is on... if not then find a relay switch, radio shack wouldn't have it but you should try autozone or a store like autozone...

I did it with aftermarket fog lights
But your set up should be the same
1) Remove front bumper, see clearing Headlight DIY
2) Take Off one headlight so you can get at all the wires, (Mainly the parking light)
(I used the passenger side an screwed the relay and the grounds into a nice empty section behind the bumper)
3) Reading the wiring diagram for the fog lights you purchased, one wire will run from a swith to the fog lights, hang on to this wire.
4) Splice the above mentioned wire into the power wire for the Parking light of the Headlight you removed. (this is the wire that runs to the center of the bulb)
5) Connect the Above mentioned wire directly to the foglights without any switch.
Your fog lights should now come on with your Parking lights when you turn the **** for the headlights.
Any questions please email me

it's nice to have the fogs hooked into the parking lights so you don't accidently leave them on and drain your battery,
like i did on many occasion,
When you open the door, it will ding if they are on.
