i was thinking about a couple of months ago while it was raining like hell out here in southern cali "it would be a lot smarter to have on only my fog lamps in the fog instead of having my bright ass 6000k hid's" so i was wondering if anyone has done this yet, if so can you please let me know how to do so i appreciate your time and effort.

I'd figure out where it connects to the headlights and cut that wire. Then you splice that wire into the parking lights (so you can do just parking lights and fogs) and you should be golden. Otherwise, rewire the whole thing into a relay and the parking lights. I'd never run it directly to the battery because you can cause a battery drain, and you have to remember to shut them off each time you turn off your car. Toyota's are amazing when it comes to lights and they automatically shut off when you open the door, don't ruin that lol.

I use these as dusk and dawn lights instead of my headlights because I'm cool like that lol. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.
