Any module out there yet to turn the FOG LIGHTS auto-on with the headlights?

[KMeloney]

Hey all,

I was able to buy a module for my '02 whereby my fog lights came on automatically with my headlights, but I don't see anything out there for the '07+s.

Anyone know of anything yet?

Yes, I like the look with the fogs on. But, I also like the fact that it puts more light on the shoulder/sides of the road, too. And yes, I'm lazy, so I'd like something to turn the lights on automatically so that I don't have to.

Thanks,

The NBS fogs are so weak that even when used as foglites they are rather hapless. Just try them w/o the headlites at nite to see how little illumination they provide.

You're right man. I am going to cut mine off of my bumper tonight!

Someone on another forum did a write up as I recall. I do not know if this forum has anyone with that expertise.

Hey Shark -- I know you're kind of "anti-fog/running-light," but I'm not looking to light up the night sky with these. I know what light they provide. I wasn't asking about their output, rather how I could get them to come on with the headlights. For me, they light up the sides of the road well enough.

Thanks for the reply.

I would like to do that also.

You maybe able to pull the fog light circuit out of the fuse box and tie it to the parking lamps or headlights.

Md -- Yeah, that's above my skill level. LOL Sounds like there is a market for a pre-wired module that can be spliced into the existing system. I just don't know enough about it to be able to make it myself.

On my 2001 pickup it was pretty easy. I never did the mod, but if memory serves me a jumper wire (or resistor or capacitor) was run between 2 functions in the fuse box. Like mentioned above. It sounded pretty simple. I'm not sure it applies to the new body style. I would like to do it too. No stock fog lights are outstanding, I just like the look better when they are on.

I'll ask some of the electrical engineers here at work what they think.

Hey thanks, Mr. B! I would imagine that it'd be a relatively simple set up for an electrical engineer to diagram. Keep us posted, please!

I wish I could get them to come on with the DRLs.

Probably the same basic wiring, just a different source.

People did that mod for my old 4Runner. IIRC it involved modifying the fog light relay to take power from the DRL source instead of it's own.
