um, i'm almost positive one of the wires was yellow, and the other brown. I'll have to take some pics cuz i'm not 100% sure. And also, they may have changed colors since 00 to 02, but i don't see why the would. Hopefully tomorrow i'll have a chance to pull the switch and snap a pic or two.


anyway, what kind of switch did you use? just curious to see pics.

took me about 15 minutes to wire it up and zip tie a switch under the dash hidden.

i'll have to write up a how to on this and submit it, and maybe you can include a few to add on the end for a dash mount switch?

 

I will try and get some pics of it tonight to post tomorrow. I have to go back and try and get my cluster panel to fit right. Screwed it up somehow and now it is off on the right side. Anyway, I will try and get those tonight

 

Not to keep beating a dead horse, but I have two questions.

Headlight switch is in auto position, but it is daytime, so the lights are off....are the fogs on?

Also, I have been reading that some of these fog light mods blow fuses, especially when towing, has this happened to anyone?

Thanks a ton

 

OK, OK, OK. Here are the pics to my fogs. And I was wrong about the wire colors. They are brown (#12) and yellow(#5). Here is the pic of the splice and of the finish product. Don't mind the scratches as those will be touched up soon.........Dremmel got away from me! [IMG]f:\personal\truck\light.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]f:\personal\truck\splice.jpg[/IMG]

 

Umm you need to upload the pics from your HD into the photo gallery, then from there you can img tag them off.

looks good. i was thinking you also had a HD, but then i saw the brown dash and was like WTF???

those are teh same clamps i used. made it really easy



so it was a brown and yellow wire

 

ALRIGHT.....I ADMITTED THE MISTAKE THAT I MADE!!! No need to rub it in!!! LOL

 

Huh? what mistakes?

 

I personally like being able to flip on the fogs using the stock switch without having to screw around with a seperate switch. And they turn off when you turn off the switch as well. Just my personal preference though. If you're careful, the switch modification is brainless.

yeah, but this is a good mod for anybody that doesn't wanna mess with the switch, or like me, i won't change anything permantly that can't be changed back the way it came

 

$75 changes it back to stock with a new switch (without nicks in the switches wiring).

 

Doesnt someone already sell a modded Light Switch that does this already? I could of swore i saw one somewhere.

 

yeah, 75 bucks i don't have, and all i'll have if i ever take the switch out is 2 little pin ****** in the 2 wires cuz the type of connectors i used. Much cheaper than a whole new switch

 

I made the mod this morning. Hooked up the #5 and #7 so that the fogs come on when the switch is turned to Auto. I did not put a switch on yet but I left lots of wire so that I can add it any time. The switches they had at the store looked to flimsy. Only took me about 15 Minutes to do the job. Very easy.
