Foglight question

[Ryan]

I was wondering if setting up the foglights so they could be turned on without the headlight was possible without ripping out the entire dash. If anyone knows or has an idea please let me know.
Thanks alot

really easy.
But the wiring is different for pre 89s er something. I'm sure you can find a thread on that hear on the forums if need be.

thanks

does anyone know the wiring for the pre-89 version?

I hear it gets kind of hard if you have big hands, like me. I'm contemplating whether or not to do it.

It's not hard at all. The only things that need to be removed are the dash panel under the steering wheel and the piece where the fog switch sits.

20 minute job if you've done it before, 45 at the longest.

I've never done it before. So all you have to remove is the switch panel and the fuse panel near the pedals? You don't have to remove the thing where the crotch cooler/warmer is?

I am gonna do it either today or this weekend but I was hoping that someone could tell me the correct wires since I can only find the instructions for 89+.
IF anyone can find the pre89 version or wiring diagram or ppictures and let me know it would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, that was confusing. I don't think you 'have' to remove the panel with the vent just the other one that clamps to the steering column. But it may make it easier to get access.

Do you need to remove this?:

These are from the SOGI site:

(86.5 ONLY) Fog Light rewire to come on without the headlights

(87-88 only) Fog Light rewire to come on without the headlights

(89, 90+???) Fog Light rewire to come on without the headlights

and Dylan's pictoral guide:

awe...if you already have the guide... then... you just have to be able to follow it.

Is everything done inside of the car for this? Do you have to do anything with the fuses in the engine?

 

[Alec]

I was reading the write-up and it says to use the cigarette lighter fuse. I sometimes use the cigarette lighter to charge my GPS or phone. If I do the rewire, will I still be able to charge my phone and GPS?

I run the fog rewire, Sirius, and radar detector all at the same time. No problems.

Did you use the cigarette lighter fuse?

 

[mkiii222]

Yes.

same here, the cigarette lighter also powers the light on my boost gauge, so it's all gravy..

What does that mean? It's good or bad?

 

[Alec]

I just did it. Ran into a couple issues. It was a pain trying to get to the relay wires. Then at the end I tried it and the fogs wouldn't go on unless I had the parking lights on. So I realized that I wired the wire to the FOG fuse, not the CIG fuse. My bad. No biggie. So then after I did it, everything worked perfectly.

sweet...

also when you open your door with the ignition off, they'll turn off as well, so you won't leave them on by accident..
