Just did my Fog Light Mod!

So i just did the 'Fog Light Anytime' Mod... pulled the nose in my buddy's garage since it was sleeting and snowing... WOW! amazed at the simplicity, and how awesome this mod is! wish i did it earlier! Thanks for the info on it from whoever i found it from!

 

Sorry i have no pics! but i honestly dont know how to put pictures up on TW! haha.. youd think at 23 years old id be a little more computer savvy....

 

what is the point in this mod? i just dont get it

 

Ummmm.... Toyota tells you when to turn the fog lights on... only when you turn the headlights on. Some people... me included, wish you could turn the fogs on when ever yo want, and I will be doing this soon as well.

 

Well put. my buddy just bought a 2011 Sierra and they come like this factory. he also has head and fog HID's.. so i wanted mine like this.. i just did it casue i think it looks sweet, not to mention my fogs are brighter than my headlights.. and THE NUMBER ONE REASON: WHEN YOU TURN YOUR HIGH BEAMS ON, THE FOGS DO NOT GO OUT!!!!! my truck looks sick sitting there w. fog lights and the red LED markers!

 

I recently posted this one...

Got it from user lextech...was it this one or did you splice so you can use fog lights without parking lights???

Glad you're happy with the results--

 

^Did it that way, I shouldn't have put it off for so long! It's so easy and so sick lookin...one of my favorite mods

 

Im ganna be doing mine as soon as I get it back from the dealer, hopefully next week..
Great job!

Im also thinking about getting some yellow fogs....

 

I did it so I can have them on anytime w. Or w.o markers.. just the blue wire connector onto the green wire.. I'm not a fan of the yellow fogs.. but hey to each there own.. we don't build these trucks for other people.. we build them for ourselves .

 

who sells the Nokya lights?

Or is just online retailers?

 

Yep, it's very useful. Easy way to get DRL that you can turn on/off at will. And the best part is them staying on with high beams. The high beams in vehicles don't project wide enough on windy roads. We've got one spot near home where it's a downhill, sweeping left turn with trees on both sides...doing 25 mph at most. Need the high beams to see far enough. With fogs off, you can't see around the corner because they project straight ahead. The fogs add enough light to see the deer crossing around the corner. I barely stopped in time the other night. If the fogs were off or I'd been in our Highlander, no doubt I would have hit it as it crossed in front of me! So the fog light mod has saved me from hitting a deer at least once now.

 

i'm doing this mod tomorrow, have read every thread on tw and tn,
i think I'll be able to do it blindfolded with a snoot full of beer

 

A good reason for the mod is the ability to use the fogs while you have your brights on. Without them, you have limited close range vision.

 

Sign me up for this easy-to-do mod. I'm doing this tomorrow according to OV's linked method. Thanks for the easy how-to.

 

thats what i was wanting to hear thanks,,,,seems like some people are just doing it just for the eff of it???

 

hey which method did you use OP? i have seen a couple different versions and not sure about it. i mean they all work just some are more complex than others.

 

Agreed.

 

Check out this method in my signature link, no wire cuts, 100% reversible.

 

looks easy enough. thanks

 

Maybe you've never driven in the fog or a blizzard?

Headlights don't help, they actually hinder you as the lights hit the fog/snow in front of you and blinds you more than it illuminates the road.

Under those kind of conditions, you want to use your fog lights and NOT your headlights (hence the name). Why it isn't possible to enable them individually from the factory, I can't imagine...
