This mod will allow you to have your fog lights lit with your parking lights.

its really simple...go get an automobile fuse holder from
radioshack, take out the 15A foglight fuse and insert a
broken fuse of any amperage (the green 30A in the picture)
so that one end of the fuse holder is jammed into the
right side of the foglight fuse.


then pull up the
taillight relay (shown in the picture) and put the other
leg of the fuse holder into the left-most vertical slot
under the relay...push the relay down and now your fog
lights work with your parking lights!!!
I did it the same way and I believe the fogs stayed on with the brights. Just note that it's an extra drain on the battery because of the higher wattage of the brights and if you have a stereo system with a large power consumption, it will cause your lights to dim to the bass beats....A/C and turn signal may make it dim even more.

Ubergod eh, lol....nah, I've just been around the Avenger awhile is all
I've saved a lot of links throughout my Avenger years, anything that was interesting or something that could benefit all, I saved
My thought was...someone else could or might be able to use this...If I didn't write it, I bookmark it and then paste the info onto MSWord just incase the link dies or gets deleted. And if I did write it, I still do the same thing .
I've learned a lot so I figured I should share it to anyone that wants to learn minus any drama. I'm too old and tired to deal with drama, lol.

That was easier than I thought! If you connect the other wire to the relay's left bottom horizontal, you can overpass turning parking lights! Make sure you turn them all off before you get off the car! Otherwise, JUMP CABLES!

Here's my problem, I have a 97 ES with the fog light switch factory on the dash, whenever I push it in it blows the fuse, I am assuming I must have a bad wire somewhere, but have no clue as where to start, I can disconnect one of the fog lights and it wont blow, but once I hook up both, it pops. I do have aftermarket fog lamps already intalled and wired with the parking lights, but still want my factory fogs working, otherwise in PA they have to be removed. And that leaves a large hole!
