    2017 TRD Off-Road Model:

    Has anyone found a cleaver way to jump a wire or trick the High Beam Relay to keep the Fog Lights ON when switching to High Beams ?

    That is: Low, High Beams and Fog Lights all ON at the same time ?

    I found a way to do this on my 300ZX sports car with a simple secondary ground wire to the Low Beam Negative wire on the back of the Bulb jumped to the chassis ground since the Nissan product opens a Relay in the Low Beam ground circuit when you turn on the High Beams and the Fogs always stay on with either LB/HB active ---- but not sure how the Gen-3 TRD OR relay works since I don't have a shop manual with wiring diagram for that model -

    Anyone done this and could post some pix with wire color codes would be appreciated -

    thanx,
    david -
