    O.k. so I know a lot of you have gotten hasseled about having fogs on with high beams...soo heres my idea...but i don't have a schematic so I have not a clue how to actually connect it. Why not find a relay that in its rest state is closed...hook it to the high beams so when you turn the high beams on it opens the relay and turns off the fogs...just an idea...


    edit: this would be used in conjuction with the fogs on anytime mod...just to clarify.

    Why would you want to turn off your fogs when your high beams are on? The fogs fill in the gap between you and where your high beams start.

    Same here in PA....

    Fogs are only allowed to be on with low beams
    Driving lights are only allowed to be on with high beams

    My PIAA's are wired constant power so I can turn them on or off whenver I want. They'll pass PA inspection if I remove the power by pulling the fuse.
