Hi Beams and Fog lights??
Hey folks,
I gotta question for ya. I replaced my factory fog lights with Lightforce lights but I want them to stay on when I put my high beams on. Anyone know what I need and where to disconnect to keep the lights on when the hi beams are on? Thanx, Mike -- |

I saw this posted once and saved it. Sorry, I don't know who the author was
so I cant give him the proper credit. Shadow ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. Remember, this is for a TJ ONLY! 2. Open the top cover of the fuse panel (under hood) next to the battery. 3. Look at the diagram printed underneath the cover and locate the Fog Light Relay. This is normally in slot #41. 4. Carefully remove the relay. This will require a slight tugging. 5. On the side of the relay, there should be a electrical diagram (printed) which numbers each prong 1 thru 5. 6. Having located prong number 1, which is normally the one closest to the fender, carefully bend it all the way around the side of the relay. 7. Reinsert relay, close fuse box cover, close hood, inspect light function. What this does is removes the dimmer switch signal from the relay. Having bent the prong, the relay will be fooled to think you never turn on high beams. On an '01 or '02 TJ, the fog lamp relay is the #35 relay in the main fuse box under the hood on the passenger side. On earlier TJs it's the #2 relay (the one on the right) behind the glove box door.

Did you put in a new wiring harness when you did this? or did you just swap
out the lamps? -- MJ w/ 2 TJ's (Rube and Trevor James, yes he was named after a TJ) 2003 Rubicon 4" Teraflex Long Arm Kit 33x12.50 Goodyear MTR's Warn XD9000i '86 CJ 7 Chev 350, 350 Turbo Tran, Dana 44's 33x12.50 Goodyear MTR www.tazjeep.com "AKJEEPER" <aufevermike@gci.net> wrote in message news:vmo13rbt81nl4e@corp.supernews.com... > Hey folks, > I gotta question for ya.

Re: Hi Beams and Fog lights??
I just wanted to add this. I like fog lights, they make a vehicle look a bit
nicer. BUT, fog lights are to be used in the FOG, not while driving around trying to look cool and heading into oncoming traffic. They are to be treated just like the high beams, when you are behind someone or driving towards someone, shut them OFF. Many people don't read there manuals and respect laws on fog lights. just my opinion, getting tired of being blinded by four lights coming at me.

One of my pet peeves, too... worst part is that (Texas) law allows a secondary pair of driving lights... people, turn off your stupid fog lamps! __ Steve .. |
