DIY: Fog Lights on with High Beams (Brights) FREE!

Super easy to do! Works just like stock with the exception of having fog's and brights on together.

 

Yupp, quick and easy!

 

I have question. What if I just want fogs to be on my shut off the headlights.can I still have them on with low beam I'm new to this wanna do this but I wanna see how to works first

 

If you want to have your fogs on and NO headlights at all you'll need to search for the other method which uses a wire to jump so that you can simply use your fog switch to turn them on/off independent of the headlight condition. This is more for those who don't want their fogs to turn off when their brights are engaged.

 

Subd. Great write up. Will try it this weekend

 

just ran across this mod a few minutes ago went and took a look and decided to pull my relay and crossed the pins like the OP did and it works perfectly the fogs stay on with high and low beam and turns off with the button (2015 TRD OR)

 

Well done. Easy and free. No money and no attention. Perfect

 

doing this to my 2015.

be right back

 

I run high power LED fogs that I only use with my high beams. This mod would be perfect for those running lights you can't run on low beams. I wired mine a "different" way but would have done this like the OP did if I had known.

 

The relay on my 2015 looks different, what did the 2015 OR guys do?

 

Did your relay look like the one i posted above?

 

no mine looked just like the picture of the first post are you sure you pulled the right relay

 

I think so, can you show me were you got yours from? My relay was located in the small fuse box behind the large main fuse box under the hood.

 

it looks like you pulled the one beside the red one pull the one on top of red one

 

I just did this mod and super easy and works. Only now my daytime running lights don't work. Anyone have this issue? It's a 2014 off road. Not a big deal, I'd rather have brights that work worth a damn than the DRL but thought that was odd and I'd pass it along. Props to the OP!

Edit 2/24/17: I've been using this mod for a while with no issues. I noticed last week that my DRL are working again. Not sure what happened, but this mod is working for me 100%.

 

Nice work, OP! Did this mod tonight and it works perfect.

 

Hey guys, anyone with this mod having increased cracking on the front cover of the headlight "glass"? Methinks some extra heat may be happening during extended night drives with the highs and lows on at the same time. Gotta get new headlights now...

 

So after a bunch of research and reading through the "Fog Light Any Time Mod", I was about to pull the trigger on that method. Even though it was not going to accomplish what I wanted. In my GTI, you could have it programmed to keep the fogs on with the high beams and the low beams stay on with the high beams. I never understood why Toyota turns the low beams off with the high beams? I understand that they must turn off the fog lights due to some states laws, but they should have kept the low beams on with the high beams for extra light.

Anyways, I found this thread an hour ago right before I was about to do the other mod. I am glad I found this one because it was exactly what I was looking to accomplish and it seemed way easier. I dont ever see a situation where I need the fog lights on and not the headlights. A trip to Lowes for some wire and I was done in less than 30 mins.

Here's my relay with the jumper wire. No solder used, just wrapped tight and pinched the wire tight to each leg.

 

Glad you found it useful!

 

I apologize in advance if this has already been asked. But does this work for us 3rd gens? I'd love to be able to do it.
