Nice forum you all have here - I hope I can get some advice for my brother-in-law, who is a bit too lazy to actually get on the computer and find info himself....
I did a search and was unable to find the info I'm looking for.
Anyway - he's got a 2000 Accord V6 coupe. A few months back, he installed the factory fog light kit. Nice little upgrade for an otherwise bone-stock car.
He would like to re-wire them to work INDEPENDENT of the headlights. I KNOW this can be done - I did the same mod on my Mazda with factory fogs.
When wired according to factory specs (which he did when installing them), the fogs can only be switched on when the headlights are in use. On my Mazda, I was able - with a very simple jumper wire - to re-wire the fog lights to operate with only the parking lights on, but they also work normally. In addition, they shut off when using the brights, which keeps the car legal (this is the law in the US).
I gotta believe at least ONE of you guys have done this to the factory driving lights. Care to share the details? Pics of the spliced/tapped wiring would really help - I know I'd have been lost re-wiring my Mazda without the pictures I was able to see of the wiring mod, even though it was so simple. The pics helped to show exactly where to tap the wires and which ones.
Anyone who's got the knowledge, PLEASE reply! I'd love to hook him up with this info.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can reply!
