Considering getting rid of my foglights

Anyways, the right one keeps filling with water and it looks really gay ... so I am considering wiring up my bumper lenses with dual fillament bulbs and hooking up the low to the foglight switch so I can turn em on whenever, and then the high will continue to function normally as turn signals. Anyways, lemme know what you guys think.

I think the turn signal thing is a sweet idea. I want to see what it looks like and then maybe I will do it too...I am a FOLLOWER!!!!! oh yeah baby. But seriously I would dump the foggers and go with the running lights!:D

Here is the wire diagram on how to do it

The 1157 harness can be purchased at the autoparts store, im not sure about the socket itsself, but it cant be too hard to figure out.

my bumper lights are my blinkers...when my corners still worked they did nothing, they were just my parking lights. I thought that is how it was supposed to be. am i wrong?

Yes, this is how they are supposed to be, stock your bumper lenses are single fillament, and only come on in order to blink.

A lot of people just jack the on wire from the corner lenses and run it to the bumpers without making it dual fillament, which pretty much renders the bumper lenses useless.

oh alright, i was wonderin. I need to get some new plugs for my corner light so i can hook them back up. You know how to hook the corner lights to blink?

I rewired my corner lenses so both of my bulbs would blink, I cant remember which wire it was though, there was a red a green, and 2 grounds (black)

Lemme find my stolen corner lenses post and I will get back to you, cause I think I wrote down the wire color in there.

Edit: The green wire blinks, while the red wire is always on.

Unless you're driving in a lot of fog I fail to see the point of fog lights...

I do have to drive in fog every once in a while, but my bumper lenses are pretty damn bright (at night when I hit the blinker its brighter than my headlights) so I think this would be a cleaner, look better idea.

I like the fog lights, but I live in Daly City, where it seems like it is foggy half the year.

Well today I was bored and opened up one of em, damn a lot of water came out of that fucker ... im suprised the shit still lit up, but anyways, cleaned it up and put it back together ... imma swing by the auto parts store tommorow to get the shit, and hopefully I can install tommorow depending on if it is raining or not.

Update, after some more research I have determined that the brake bulb harness can be used, so imma steal it off my friends 86 accord which is supposed to be donated to charity soon. I need to cut off one piece, and it will mount in the bumper lense perfectly, now I just gotta remove the fogs, and use the power wire from them on the high beam wire of the bumper lenses.

Another idea that I have considered is rewiring the fog lightbulbs (H3's) into the bumper lenses, but that would be bright as hell, and as I am told by a friend who did it on his accord, it will end up melting the bumper lense housing because the bulb generates so much heat.

Anyways, so I am gonna steal those housings off his car (it has 4 of em, so the brake lights will still work for the charity) and wire it up possible tommorow.

I also wish to relocate the front plate, and possibly put some sort of grille on the front bumper, but I think that this will look ricey with a stock bumper.
