Title: Calling All Angel Eye Foglight Owners!
Post by: CrazySX on October 13, 2015, 17:53
How did you wire them up?  Angel on sidelight and Main fog on fog connection?

I have just fitted my fogs and have separate wiring for Fog/Angel for now the fog light switch operates the Angel eyes only.  I want to be able to use these as DRL's without having to switch on any lights. I want the fogs to remain fogs.

Ideas please!!!

Not really, I did look at that, but looking more for a solution on the switch end. I have already used the coin holder blank for the aerial switch btw

If you don't want any dimming functionality or feature where the DRLs turn off when your headlights are on... Just wire them straight into a ignition live with the switch in between. Especially if you want both fogs and DRLs on separate switches.

I don't want them on all the time, I want the DRL's on a separate switch. Independent of everything. Just stuck for somewhere to put another switch, and lots wires to run  s:( :( s:(

I've just made a little hole and used a small round rocker switch (for example) under the steering wheel.
Alternatively, get another fog light button and cut a new hole for it next to the others.
Then do exactly what Les has done in the thread above, with the difference that the wire that goes from the relay to the ciggie lighter passes through a switch first.

This sounds like a good idea! I always try and keep things OEM so fitting another fog switch sounds just the ticket. Will have to think some more before I commit.

I there such a thing as a 2 stage switch? I was thinking about this last night

Ok so I found an on/off/on switch which could replace the fog switch but it looks a bit bland

So think I will get the Zombie lights switch below :p

And relocate the LED which lives here

That's odd... What s your window lock button doing there?!
But yes you can get a 2-way rocker switch as you've seen. However, if it's a different look, put it elsewhere.
Look around for other Japanese car switches that look similar. A switch is a switch

What exactly are you trying to do??

Do you want the fogs to work as fogs and the angels as dlrs?

Yes, exactly this! But I want the angels to be independent and to be able to switch them on or off when I want.

Then get a 5 pin relay and wire I up on when the main lights or side lights get power it powers up the relay turning the angels off, then put a switch in the line that could be anywhere to turn the angels off if you want them off. Then connect the fog to the fog wiring.

Did you mean nick the power from the main or side lights to turn on the Halo's and then switch it so that i can control them?

No use the main or side to trigger the normal on and off on the halos
