    I didn't mess with "all the wiring under the dash" to make them work, but to each his own.

    Mess under the dash was to route the wiring through the firewall, then i had to grab the wires and maybe something got loose or out of place which caused the flickering on the high beam cluster light

    Sounds like a DAB problem, shouldn't sway others from doing it properly lol

    how is that a DAB problem, all i did was route the 12v wire to the battery, the remote start to the radio and the ground to the negative terminal of the battery...It was most likely something that is grounding itself under my dash that im not going to worry about, im just letting other people know what can happen.

    Not sure how that is not properly as i did not run my cables through the door rather through the firewall.

    ^^^Oh, he mad!!

    I did..... :troll:

    But maybe it's the same for your car. You have to find the relay that controls the fogs, mine was behind the passenger kick panel. Then run a new wire from the turn-on pin to wherever, I ran mine to the ACC so that it would come on automatically with the car, and of course I still have the OEM switch control.

    Havent been on here or a while. I got a switch and was getting ready to run some wires, but I'm gunna take a look at what Gold had to say first. In case Golds idea doesn't work.. Does anyone know the wire color for the fogs on the harness in the steering column?

    I looked on the inside of my passenger side panel, it doesn't look like yours gold. Under my steering wheel behind the dash there is a board with 3 relays on it but I don't know if it's the right ones or not, or which one it even is.

    Yeah then maybe don't mess with it haha

    You might not have any wires or relays for it, you should probably just run a whole new set of wires for that switch.

    Yea I reckon I'll just run wires from the battery to the switch, and wires from the fogs to the switch. I'll have to get an inline fuse too.

    Well you need a relay

    you can just get a fog light wiring kit, it will come with everything (including a switch, just cut it off and wire up the OEM one)

    I'm being told the relay is under the steering wheel and it is a dark orange color, like the DRL relay color under the hood. All you did was run a wire from the turn on pin to accessory, and they worked manually with the oem stalk?

    Yep, worked perfectly! Now the OEM stalk switch turns it on/off when the key is turned instead of when the head lights are on.

    Ok so I just got home from work, I found the board again I told y'all was up under the steering wheel with all the relays. I pulled one and checked the lights and they didn't come on. So that's figured out. Since you've done this before can you tell which pin to put the wire on? I can't tell 100% from your pic.

    Yeah man, no problem. It's also hard to see, but what I did was I crimped a female connector over the new wire, connected it to the one relay pin, then bent the one relay pin 90 degrees so it was flat. Then I plugged the relay back in using the remaining 3 prongs.

    This is tempting to do to my car, I would need a fog stalk though.
