how to work the foglights without headlights

this is my first post here but i have been a member of ACs forum for a little while now. I was refered here to find the high beam and low beam mod and found it but was hoping to be a little more descriptive because i want to do it. One reason i like the foglight relay mod is because i when you are following someone offroad in the woods and it is dark I dont like blinding them so i will use my foglights only. I just try to keep the light to close behind his rig so everything is visible and if i need i just hit on my lights if i need more lights for a minute. They also draw addention to you when it is overcast but you dont want your headlights on. Or when you are at the drive in and dont want to light up everyones car while you are moving.

 

Anyways This is a different way than what is on this board, the way i did it and it is very helpfull and descriptive. Basicially i followed the instructions, Improvised, then showed how i did it and posted pics of the box and wires. No additoinal relay is needed, just 4 pieces of wires and wire connectors. The box will still shut and look nice and neat!

yes, thread revival, i know.

 

has anyone with a 2G R50 done this? this guy has a 1G R50 and i just want to make sure the procedure is the same. sounds like he has a proper method and is very similar to what i did on my G20. only thing different with what i did on my G20 was clip a wire from the foglight relay and spliced it into the the sidelights (not a parking light, but a light that comes on next to the headlight). that way, it came on with parking lights, low beams, and high beams.

 

on the same note, has anyone gone into the lighting and setup a couple relays to prevent the lights from experiencing voltage drop?

well I was sitting in the drivers seat , messing with the light switch

 

 

theres OFF, parking, and then headlights.

 

hold your fingers on it very still, and try to get it between parking lights and headlights. There is a sweet spot where the foglights work but the headlights don't!!! It's kinda tough to get to, and the problem is that it's not very stable. When you use the turn signal, it usually turns the headlights back on, and it probably wouldnt hold while offroading, but it's a cool mod if you're just cruising down a boulevard or something.

 

 

have fun guys!

 

 

Howa got it , i got that sweet spot and it worked out :bounce:
