Default Paging Jeff Bipes!!! Anyone have his web site address handy?

He's got a step by step procedure on how to wire the headlamps and foglamps so that the fogs operate independently from the headlights.

Default That's how they're supposed to be. I have to ask..why do you want your foglights on without

your headlights?

Default you have a bad switch... I had mine replaced @ 20K service....

And I used this tech article, to be able to turn on the foglights when the switch is in the parking light possition...

note, if you have a busted switch, then by doing the rewire now you will automaticly turn the fogs when in the parking light possition...

I would wait on this mod till you dealer instals the new switch, so they don't claim that the mod caused the switch to go bad.(warranty void)<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec43.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec43.shtml</a</li></ul>

Default Re: Probably a bad switch but you should not use high beams

in fog. The reflection actually reduces your vision.
