Default Need a C5 electrical smart guy or gal

what i want to do is have the fog lights NOT activate during the lock and unlock(approach) process using the key fob. i just installed the HID mod to the fogs and i'm pretty sure they won't endure the wear and tear of being flashed, but i'd like to keep the approach and lock light feature with the remaining lights.

The only way to change it would be to change the power source. (i.e. move the fog lights onto there own seperate circuit and switch.

You could rig an extra relay to the fog light switch to totally disable the fogs unless the fog light switch is powered.
