Wiring/electrical guys - Possible to change DRL lights to fogs?
Well, upon a "strong recommendation" from a local police officer the other day (as well as my own preference, to be honest) I'm changing my DRL/signal and side marker bulbs from the 6000k white Cree LED bulbs to some AMBER LED bulbs of equal quality. The thing is, though, that I would still prefer my DRLs to be white. One way I was thinking I could do this is by changing the DRL portion of that connection to the fog light instead of the signal. Is this possible without too much work?
On that note, I'm aware that there are switchback bulbs available for this very purpose (I actually have a set of lesser quality led chipped ones), but they don't seem to be made with the top quality led chips that I'd prefer. I'm just wondering if it would be an easier and better option to switch the drl to the fog light...

See the OP... ..."On that note, I'm aware that there are switchback bulbs available for this very purpose (I actually have a set of lesser quality led chipped ones), but they don't seem to be made with the top quality led chips that I'd prefer.

Yes, that would be a start. I have ZERO experience with reading wiring diagrams and electrical schematics to be able to make any sence of that though. I was wondering if there was just some cutting and splicing I could do at/near the connector(s), but maybe it's more complicated than that.

Sorry I skimmed that a little too quick. You can definitely find higher quality ones if you look in the right places.
