Is there a way to get the foglights to turn on without having the parking lights on? anyone ever done it or know what would be involved?

Thanks

 

Fog Lights and Low Beams on with High Beams

A PAINLESS WIRING relay part # 30802 will keep your fog lights on when the highs are on. Tap the relay trigger wire into the high beam circuit, and the feed wire from the relay into the fog circuit, you will also have to run a ground wire and hot wire to the relay. You can also use the same part # relay to keep your low beams on when you are running the highs, in that application the relay wires are color coded the same as the C5 headlight circuit, I have this relay on my C5 headlights and have had the same on two GM pickups with flawless performance.

The kit consists of a relay with a 30 amp rating, and the necessary wiring to make it functional. The trigger wire taps into your high beam circuit, when you turn on the high beams the relay closes and delivers current to your fog lights via the feed wire from the relay. You also need to run a hot wire from a 12 volt source thru a fuse to the relay, and a wire from a good ground source to the relay. Very simple to do, I mounted my relay inside the battery box, and ran the wires to the headlight circuit, under the coolant tank and made the connections there, totally hidden when complete. The relay kit is available from the usual mail order speed shops for about 20 bucks, come with complete directions for the high beam circuit, to do the fog lights all you need to do is identify the positive wire in that circuit.

Try searching Google for Painless 30802 Relay Kit.
You will find lots of pricing and a few How To's as well.

Seems like you could just T off the switched wire to the Low Beams to the Fogs and get High + Low + Fogs when you turn on your High Beams?

 

Great information I think what he wanted to know though was if he could use them like DRL's with all other lights off?

 

Then he would just have to tap the relay trigger into a switched power source versus the High Beam circuit... then the Fogs would be "hot" all the time.

Just make sure it is an ignition sense power source so the lights come on and off with the ign., so they dont stay on and run down the battery when you leave the car!!

 

Yep "switched power"....

 

Yes, that's exactly what i'm trying to do

would I still need the Painless wiring relay to do that? or could I just run a switched power source straight to the foglight switch?

 

I'm having problems accessing my maintenance DVD right now but I believe that the BCM interfaces with the Fog Light switch... Can anyone check for him?????

 

Fog lamp switch goes to D4.C2 of the BCM. Orn/Blk 0.35 wire.

I think the wire you need is the one that controls the fog lamp relay. This wire is B4.C1 DK GRN/WHT 0.35. This needs to be pulled to ground to turn on the fogs.
