Default Fog light mod for 97 1.8?

I installed the euros and now I'm in the process of putting in fog/driving lights. Has anyone done the "fog light mod" that lets you turn on the fogs regardless of the headlights being on? If so anyone have directions/wiring instructions?

Default Wait a minute...

Aren't you putting in your PIAAs? These aren't even connected to the headlight system at all...unless you go through the stock switch. But if I were doing it with your equipment, I'd use the supplied PIAA wiring harness for those lights, and hook up the city lights to the factory switch.

BTW, I think I still have the FAQ for the fog light mod with the stock 97 in-headlight fogs w/ pictures. I'll look tonight. But you don't have any of this system left do you, except for the wiring?

Or are you pulling the old headlight/fog wiring down from the headlight area to below the bumper for new fogs?

What the hell ARE your plans?

Default Alright, I'm....

trying to use the factory wiring to turn on a relay for the PIAA's. The PIAA harness is forever in my old 90q (RIP) so I will be making my own harness. Just trying to use whats there. As for the city lights I'm going to buy another switch for the dash. Last night we hooked Ron's city lights up but used a whole other method. His are hooked up to take the place of the parking lights. When the low beams are turned on the city lights turn off.

Default So basically you want to do the standard fog light mod (on whenever you push the switch) for a 97

however, instead of them turning on your stock foglights (in the stock headlights), you want it to signal a relay to turn on your aftermarket ones.

So, all you need is the Foglight Mod instructions that used to be on DonP's AudiZone which is now part of Audiworld and is currently "MIA".

Is that right?
