Any knows exactly whats needs to be done to drive with low beams while having fog lights operate at the same time.

this is interesting but unaware of every one jumping relays while im not seeing anything other than fuses.
?????

 

You mean High beams and fogs/driving at the same time?

The driving/fog lights operate with the low beams on.


I have seen it done on Jeeps (hi beam and driving lights) but never bothered to look into how it was done, as my Jeeps had HID lights.

 

Ay bud I'm talking about driving around with my low beams and fog lights on. See i

can turn parking lights on, turn my fog lights on as well but if i switch over to my regular

low

beams while the fogs are on they turn off. which leaves me with low beams only.

 

Something is wrong then. Fogs are supposed to be on with the lows, go off when you switch to high beams.

 

Yes i mean High beams and fogs/driving at the same time?

How would, this need to be accomplished for an 08 ram when their not any relays to add a jumper wire with a diode to?

Has anyone spliced wires and add diodes to achieve this. theirs a lot of talk adding multiple relays and jumping relays. any get around on relays. just asking if their a general straight method with out using any relays to keep it simple in order to have highs, and fogs.

 

Easiest way might be to run new wiring and a switch to the fogs, so you can control them at anytime.

Wired into a 'key on' hot, will turn them off when you turn off the truck.


But if they are 55W or more, I would recommend a relay in that circuit.

There's at least 2 benefits to a relay in a light circuit.

1: Brighter lights as they get the full value of the battery.

2: You can run smaller wires to the switch, as they do not carry the load to the lights, but only activate the relay.

 

easiest two options are:

1) have dealer reflash your truck to "export" mode or w/e and enable highs w/ fog lights (most dealers won't do this for you however)

2) buy the fog zilla kit which allows you to plug in a harness and poof it all works out.

 

What about the switch that functions all the lights parameters to begin with, if its any way related to or like a spst switch style could pull the **** aka fog switch out determining the wires and jump a wire to another wire with a diode to its correct wiring colors. I don't exactly know how driving with the high beams on, cancelling out each other actually function i just believe it is always a smarter, simple, method.

 

if you have a 2002-2004 Ram maybe... but that would require a ton of work that I wouldn't want to both with personally.

if you have a 2005-2009 Ram then you're SOL, b/c it's controlled by the TIPM, there are a thousand threads asking how to do this same thing... If you don't my our suggestions then go search on google... sorry to be short with you but you should have searched for this answer well before posting this thread.

 

Izero, thanks man, now i know how to fully get it operable through the TIPM.

If i may ask could you attach a copy of TIPM pins and wire colors please for 08 dodge ram.
