Rx8 Fog Lights!
 
Does Anyone Know How To Rewire The Lights So I Have The Option Of Just Turning On The Foglights ? Stock Set Up Only Allows The Fog Lights To Be On When The Headlights Are On. I Was Wondering If There Is Any Way To Go Around That...?

Thx!

the foglight rewire is pretty easy to do and you'll love it.
Have you thought about changing out the bulbs on the fog lights? they're sort of 'yellowish' compared to HID's.


Here's the Hoen bulbs I used.

better you than me. I've been using em since my last car and they last longer than any other bulbs I've ever used.

This is a nice DIY option to do on your car.

Jedi54 08-25-2008 11:20 AM

12oclock: this rewire takes 20 minutes.

dozer 08-25-2008 11:54 AM

^probably less...

Jedi54 08-25-2008 12:10 PM

^^ that includes time to throw back a few cold beers. :beer:

Foglight mod was my very first mod. I've got them totally independent of the headlights now, and they stay on at all times. I consider them daytime running lights.

NgoRX8 08-25-2008 03:02 PM

I have never ever used my foglights. my foglights came off the 2nd day as that's when my kit went on. would like to use it one day if i ever found any appealing to me.

haha jedi the lights look clean.

Jedi54 08-25-2008 03:04 PM

^^ get Rodger to make you some HID lights for your bumper.

speaking of which: recognize the driveway?? ;)

NgoRX8 08-25-2008 03:53 PM

lol. of course, i even recognize the jeep. haha

Razz1 08-25-2008 09:33 PM

I think rodger will be too busy with his new car.

Jedi54 08-25-2008 09:51 PM

rodger's never too busy to make cool stuff
