Fog Lights with High Beams DIY

Also guys, You can buy 12" Extensions from the factory harness to the light and splice into that instead of the harness at the lights to for your Hot.
They are actually designed for higher watt bulbs, Higher gauge cable.
I use them, But thats because I had 4 of them, and got to lazy to unwrap the stock wires when I installed my fogs. Also used one for my beacon light and a waterproof disconnect.

Made up a diagram
Used a post HammerZ71 posted https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...nd-relays.html
You dont need the Extensions (They are plug and play) I would tho for easy removal.

Your over thinking all this stuff...
You can just run a wire from the highbeam, to the trigger for the foglight relay... put a diode inline with the wire so the current would only flow one way.
only downside to your whole plan would be that regardless of whether the foglight switch was on or off, the foglights would actuate every time you turned on the highbeams, including durring the day if you just flashed them.
if your more interested in the one wire solution I can go look at the fuse box later and see exactly what you'd need to do for minimal tampering with the factory wiring.

Your way would be simpler, Jumping from the High Beam to the Fog Relay at the fuse box. I never knew about putting a diode in for 1 way current either.

We're also holding back several other technologies until we get a more substantial "Tim Horton's" presence in the United States...

haha, Between my house and my work 10min (Mostly Highway) There is 7-8 of them and there is no exit from where I get on and off the highway... there is 4 in my town on 1 street, not even 3k apart, 3 within 200 feet of each other
