If any 3rd gen'ers want a cheap way to keep your fog lights on even when your high beams are on then just tell me and if i get at least one reply i will take the time to take everything apart and post pics. Just so everyone knows it is all using your stock harness and fuse box..no it is not some bubba job where you run a wire from your lights in to your box. all you are doing is relocating one wire to a spare. Cost...the price of a 10-15 amp fuse... Anyone intrested just reply..

 

this will basically turn your fog lights into running lights, ie,..if your ignition is on they are on..plus they will be run off og their onw circuit and you can modify the bulbs to pull a larger load with out worrying about overloading your lighting circuit or switches...uses all factory with no splicing.

 

I wanna know

 

me too!

 

me to whats the trick to it?

 

count me in too.


Did this on my BMW after adding HID fogs, nice touch.

Is this just as far as OEM foglights, or the vehicles that came standard with foglights?

 

A jumper in the fuse box is no different (electrically) than rigging a wire between the box and the fogs. It may look cleaner but that's it.

I don't see how it makes larger bulbs (load) safer either. You're still using the stock wire and other components. You can't "overload" the stock switch because it uses a relay. If your lights are pulling more than 30 amps your bulbs may be too large and they certainly aren't in the stock housings.

If there is a "right" way to do this it is by energizing the stock fog relay with an ignition-switched wire. This means hardly any load on the jumper wire (maybe half an amp). I hate DRLs so I haven't looked into how but it's a very simple process.

Anyone who is just looking for fogs on with high beams, ask your dealer to set that option. It's present on all Rams. It just depends on if your dealer is willing to do it and how much they want to hit a few buttons.

 

I think I already did this with pics in the DIY section.

 

outside or John m and hammer the rest of yall are probably cheap like me and want things to look the best you can as cheaply as possible. The basics if you do not want to wait for pics. I completly disassembled my fuse box to find the "spare" fuses and see what prongs the were associated with in the harness. As well as the white/yellow wire for the fog lights taken off of the relay. once you find these two, the harness say for your spare fuse slot #37 will have an empty slot and from there it is just a plug and play..for the rest of you who are not the enclined there will be pics to follow unless HAMMER can send us a link to what he has 'already did'...
