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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.

Re: Hi Beams and Fog lights??
Did you put in a new wiring harness when you did this? or did you just swap
out the lamps?

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!
