Don't know what's needed for coding. I'm not really willing to purchase all the stuff for two changes.

You DO know high beams w fogs is illegal right? Also w heavy fog and your high beams on, there's a LOT of reflection from the fog.

Thanks dragon for the heartfelt concern. It's really appreciated. However, I have converted my fog lights to an HID projector that is aimed about 25 feet in front of the car. The only time the high beams and fogs will be on together is when I'm up in the mountains on dark back roads. Hope that works for you.

Sorry, wasn't trying to be a smart ass. I just didn't want you to get pulled over by the CHP. Up in the mountains on the backroads, you need as much light as you can get. A long time ago, I ran 55/100w Hellas. Totally illegal headlights on my accord. I actually was able to light up part of the mountain in Tahoe when they were on and never needed more light than that. I never believed fogs really did very much to improve visibility so your HID projectors are a good idea.

I'd be looking for the same codes and disabling amber side lights all the time.

Dragon, copy that. Totally get it. I actually had to modify the mounting tabs of projector fogs to get them low enough for my liking. They really work well by giving amazing road detail where I need it.
