How-to on wiring fog lights into high beams
Wednesday, August 08, 2007 11:10 AM
Can somebody post up a how to, on how your supposed to wire your fog lights into your high beams. I'm installing fogs into my turn signal location on my 2000 Sunfire, and relocating my turn signals. I want my fogs to come on when I turn my high beams on.

use a relay... tap off the high beam wire and put on the coil side of the relay... then run power from battery to other side of the relay (switch side) and to the foglights coming out of the switch side.... DONE...

Also it's not for stock foglights, it's for aftermarket ones, read more carefully.

In the diagram above, pins 87 and 30 are backwards... 87 is output, 30 is input, as are 85 and 86 (85 is trigger, 86 is ground)

Wiring is the same with the small changes mentioned, just run the green wire in the diagram to the aftermarket fog light power wires.

If your car didn't come with fog lights originally, use these instructions:

except, instead of running the wire from the fuse box, use the parking light wire up front (brown wire in the turn signal harness)

With this set-up, when I turn the switch off, the fogs won't come on at all right? Not even when the high beams are on? Also, what would I use for an indicator? LED? If I get a flight switch with an indicator in it, can I use that?

If I do this, and use the park light wire in the harness, the Fogs will come on everytime my park lights are on. I want to be able to have my fogs come on when my high-beam lights come on. So wouldn't I wire it to a high beam wire somewhere and the hood.?

if you want the fogs to come on with the highs only, use the high beam ground wire as the trigger...
