Fog Lights

Hey guys,

Is there a way to keep the fog lights running everytime you turn on the headlights? I like keeping the fogs on permanently.

Not that I know of... might just have to turn them on everytime. Unless you wanted to mess with the wiring, but that would cause check control messages.

There is a way...you have to run a bypass somewhere...Some members on here have done it when they want their Angel Eyes on without the amber signal lights to come on...Meaning they have it set up to where the headlights are off, turn signals or parking lights are off also, and Fogs are on and Angel Eyes are on...I believe the process is similar to try do what you're talking about.

I also would like that. But mostly I just want my angel eyes to be on all the time. This way if I do get the angel eyes from Angel IBright then it will always be on and look very nice.

what's so bad about turning on the parling lights?

I can understand with the fogs though, because I get confused whether they're even on or not..I wish I could just keep the button depressed.

The problem with turning on the parking lights is that I will forget to turn them off a lot of the times. I know the x5 will probably chime in to tell me but most of the time I'm in a hurry and end up just quickly getting out, locking the doors, and walking away.

for all of those lazy out there about turning and off the switch/lights.
you can hard wire it to the INIGTION II so it can be on/off with the key.
