    Ive had the fog light mod done for a while now and have had this problem since day one, if i leave the button in the ON position randomly at odd times through out the day and night the lights will just come on by themselves. Battery hasnt died YET but i was just wondering if this has happened to anybody else?

    Depends on how you did the "anytime" mod. Some have this issue, other dont. Just rewire to solve it

    Both of my trucks do it, when i get home from work and the truck sits for 4 hours they will come on for about a minute then shut off, i was told its becouse the ecu is doing its thing, weather thats true or not im not sure. Never had any problems with the battery
