My 87 has a seperate switch for the fog lights, but they will come on when I pull out the switch 1/2 way or all the way.

I think that the '84 model is the only year that the driving lights can't be turned on without the headlights being on. I remember someone posting about rewiring the driving lights or installing a switch a long time ago...might be in the archives.

You're correct. The 84's only come on with the headlamps. You can rewire the switch to bypass this, I did.

Cory-
You don't have to have access to the lamps themselves, only to the lamps' wiring.

I just do that, because I put the 50w fog light bulbs in, and I replaced the parking lights with 10w bults (factory are 5w). Also, it looks cooler to have the headlights down and drive around. :thumbs:

:iagree: There is a tech tip on how to use a higher wattage (50) bulb in the fogs. It involves replacing the tail lamp fuse with a 15 amp I believe...I did that some months ago and was very impressed with the very noticibly brighter lamps. :seeya
