controlling the fog lights Hey I did a search and came up with about 12pages and I read them all but did not find what I was looking for. I'm wanting to be able to turn my fog lights on when I want to. I don't want to run the low/high beams at the same time or the high beams with the fog lights. Just want to be able to use the factory switch to turn them on when the head lights are off.
Thanks
Thanks

Method 2) Take your left side vent out. Take the two screws holding your light switch out.
Find the orange/redish wire going to G, cut the wire about 2 inchs from switch. In case you would like to put it back.

Got another question, if I cut the orange/redish wire would I still have amber runinng lights? Also if I cut the orange/redish wire and put a toggle switch would it work like normal when the switch is flipped one way and the other way I would have to turn the lights on myself and the fog lights?
Thanks

If you are trying to disable automatic headlights then shorting the sensor wires together is the only smart way to do it. That way you're not cutting or modifying any factory wiring, it's easily reversible, it has no other side effects, and it's the way that GM disabled automatic headlights on US-version Firebirds (so you know it's safe).

Those methods were posted as a method of disabling the daytime running lights but they actually disable the automatic headlights. Neither one has anything to do with your fog lights.

You can get the sensor from the dealer for around $20. The mounting socket for it is already in the dash panel. You have to extend the wires from the DRL module up to the sensor in the dash panel but other than that it's pretty much plug-and-play. As soon as you have the new sensor connected the automatic headlights will work...well...automatically.
