2000 Jeep Wrangler Fog Light Mod Questions
I have a 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sport with factory fog lights. I notice that if
you are using the fog lights and you use the high beams, the fog lights become disabled as long as you have the high beams on. I found "mod" instructions to allow the fog lights to be on with the high beams. The instructions are as follow: "On your 2000 the relays are behind the glove box. Take it out and look to the firewall, the #2 relay is the one on the right closest to the outside of the Jeep. Pull the relay straight up, the pins are labeled, but you will need someone with good eyes or use a magnifying glass (look close, the #'s are there) bend the #1 pin back instead of cutting it off and then you could reverse it back to stock later if you want." I have 2 questions: 1) Are these procedures correct and 2) Is this modification street legal? |

illegal and pointless. Fog lamps are for use in fog, they are not ornaments.

Re: 2000 Jeep Wrangler Fog Light Mod Questions
I am interested in the mod only to get more light when off-roading at night.
I would not 'consciously' use the high beams with the fog lights while on public roads. I am glad you like my name. I am in search of discovering why I have 'smegma breath'. Do you have any ideas?

Re: 2000 Jeep Wrangler Fog Light Mod Questions
As if bending pins on the relay would be a legal thing to do.. why do you
think that the lights are set up the way they are from the factory?.. Fog lights are designed for use in fog and falling snow.. the beam pattern is short range and wide.. they are set low on the vehicle so that the beam shines under the fog layer.. they are not fitted so that an idiot like you can emulate the spacecraft seen in "Close Emcounters".. -- History is only the past if we choose to do nothing about it..

Re: 2000 Jeep Wrangler Fog Light Mod Questions
Hey, hey, hey.... I am one of those Jeep owners that use 'public roads'
only to get to the 'off road'. That also includes being out in the middle of nowhere when the sun goes down. Using the fog lights along with the high beams will allow me to see better in at night while I am trying to find my way through the woods and so on. My intention is not to use the fog lights with high beams on public roads. Idiot? Hey man, I can't be too stupid.....I own a Jeep!

Re: 2000 Jeep Wrangler Fog Light Mod Questions
I'm another that rewire their stock fog lights to also light with
the high beams. High beams are the only way to go on a lonely twisting mountain road, but without the side lighting the fog lights give, I can't tell where in the road I am or if the high lights that are not reflecting off of any thing means I'm about to drive off a cliff.

Re: 2000 Jeep Wrangler Fog Light Mod Questions
I have read this entire thread and can't understand why you got some of
those nasty responses. You asked a legitimate question. It's true that fog lights are designed to be able to see better in fog. Adjusted properly, they throw a wide, low beam and are much more effective in fog than regular headlights. In heavy fog, you should slow down, and use your fogs along with your parking lights, NOT headlights. Headlights can be blinding in heavy fog because so much light is reflected back into the driver's eyes. Your question was not about fog, it was about using the fogs with the high beams. It is NOT, repeat NOT illegal to have your fog lights on along with your high beams. In fact in Ohio, you can have a total of 5 lights on the front of a vehicle lighted while on a roadway. They can be headlights, along with any combination of auxiliary lights, fogs included. When driving off-road, especially on dark forest trails or roads, I use my high beams and fogs to get as much light as possible. The fogs are especially good for lighting the sides of the road to help avoid deer, etc. Here are the directions for getting your fogs to work with your high beams: On the ’01 or ‘02 TJ, to get the fog lights to stay on with the high beams, follow these instructions: Find the #35 fog lamp relay inside the main fuse box, which is on the passenger side of the engine under the hood. The relay is clearly marked on a diagram on the inside cover of the main fuse box. Pull the relay straight up and out of the socket. Carefully and slowly bend the #1 pin (it's marked) 180 degrees around to the side of the plastic relay, so it will not make contact with its female socket when the relay is re-inserted. Re-insert the relay and you're done. You can now turn on the fogs with either low beam or high beam headlights. On 1997-2000 TJs the relay is located behind the glove box door. You remove the glove box door and pull relay #2 (the one on the right) and bend pin #1 (it’s labeled.) Put the relay back in and test. If you have no fogs you pulled the wrong relay. Just switch them and it should work. On another subject, for those who want more light when the bright headlights are on, install a KC Hilites Quad Beam Conversion Kit. It’s part #6314 at www.kchilites.com. This allows the low beam filaments to stay on along with the high beam filaments. The factory setup turns off the low filament when high beams are turned on.

The relay is clearly marked on a diagram on the inside cover of the main fuse box. Pull the relay straight up and out of the socket.
