DreamParty Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Hi guys, Does anyone know that if we can turn on the fog light without turning the headlight on first? So I can turn on the fog light with DRL at the same time. thanks, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwest Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 no you can't ask dealer Yes, it involves moving a single ground wire from one pin to another on the turn signal combination switch. The only with this mod is that it will allow the fog lights to be on any time the street/parking/tail lights are on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMEONE ELSE'S GOT MY NAME Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 That's right. Another super sweet lighting mod, somewhere here on the board, is rewiring so you can turn the lame DLR's off, in stead of having them automaticly come on when the headlights turn on. Our 400h doesn't have fog lights. The whole DRL reg's were drafted back when it was still (wrongly though) believed to increase traffic safety. Newer stats show no discernable reduction in accidents, yet we're still stuck w/ DLR's. Oh well, go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My '01 RX300 has a 12 volt relay mounted in series with the DRL circuit. The high beams are no longer used as DRLs since that damages the glass encapsulation of the bulbs. The N. O. relay contacts supply alternate (DRL) power to all of the street/parking/corner/tail lights plus two 3 watt Luxeon LEDs with collimator lens, one mounted in each front corner light position. The LEDs' power is modulated at the 2 Hz rate allowed for motorcycles for attention getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
