I have given up searching for a relevant thread...
Please point me to, or provide, info on setting up the Dak to keep foggies on with hi-beams. All I have found is the relay jumper mod for earlier or different models.
Please save your ranting about "appropriate use" of fog lights - out here, in the sticks, we need all the light we can get on our unlit roads. Any little bit of advance warning of that Dakota-slammin' deer in the weeds is a help (fogs can pick up the eye reflection when nothing else will). Those buggers must be suicidal...

 

just buy yourself a pair of auxiliary lights if you wanna light up the road.

 

Auxiliary lights are a someday purchase - I'm trying to work with what I have.

 

getting a bulb upgrade might be a better option.

 

how good are you at wiring?
its a simple mod to do if you have some wiring skills.

the idea is to re-wire your fogs with their own relay to run off the fog switch and not through the headlight switch, i don't have fogs (yet) so i dont know the exact procedure

 

Bump for useful information...

 

heres one mod i found, its for a toyota but if im not mistaken the wireing is the same

Go look in the ram section, there is a lot of usefull info in there that carries over into our trucks as well

 

What I found didn't match what's in mine:
The '01 appears to have a different relay:

(< front, V driver's side)

suggestions?

 

if u can't get new lights right now then you can move ur fogs up like i did. i put them behind the grill a little below the head lights. i have some dark roads where i live and with this setup i have'nt needed my brights.
