09 Si OEM Fog Mod w/ Stalk Control *PIC HEAVY* - Page 2

Toy Slacker · 02-08-2010, 01:27 PM

Not to sound like the 5-0, but isn't it illegal to run more than four lights on at any one time??

hence, why the OEM standard is for the fogs to go off when you turn on your brights?!?!

Splice the PURPLE wire with a new wire of your choice then route it to the back of the steering column...

how you do this part?

Just did this today on my day off... It was cake, and having Independant control of each light is nice.

Splice? or.... route?

Splice... I used quick splices... pretty much putting two wires next to each other, and compress the metal piece..

as for routing it... just... throw the wire through the holes in the dashboard...

And I think someone asked if I pulled my DRL fuse out... the question is.. HELL YES.

As for the legality for how many lights to be used.... I think they switch the fogs off for current draw issues... and in CA, you're not supposed to drive with the fogs on unless its foggy out...

I forgot what year car you had.... but... I'm not sure if I can make the tutorial any simpler?

cambodianricer · 02-15-2010, 04:28 AM

print d.i.y. and go to bestbuy install bay
(where they install stereos)
i used to work there and theyll do about any electric work you ask em too.
the guys at the one i used to work at would often install decks etc while people filled out the paperwork for the install lol

on something especially this simple it should be cake

low&slow · 02-15-2010, 05:11 AM

wonder how much they will charge me

J808AllDay_Si · 02-15-2010, 05:43 AM

so just buy any random wire from the auto store...
splice purple wire
connect the bought wire and purple together...
connect the bought wire in any of the holes?

Ryd1ZZ · 02-15-2010, 09:18 PM

Nice DIY! thank you sir.

tccosi · 02-15-2010, 09:18 PM

I've left my fogs on a few times already but I think I've gotten use to it. I love this mod, my mom told me both my head lights were out, lol. And I did this to my boys fg2 aswell, best$ .30 ive spent in a while(wire splice)

It should be tied into the fuses controlling the stalk/fog/headlamps since its connected to the OE wiring.

Buy wire and splices
splice purple
splice into orange
and cut orange before the splice furthest from the relay.

It should be above the brake/clutch pedal.... Stick your head in the footwell area while laying on your back and look straight up...

Hahah yeah, the only problem is you might forget your fogs are on in the day...

ohayouchan · 02-17-2010, 12:55 AM

cool mod bro

santellanm · 02-20-2010, 02:31 PM

Ok so I am finally going to do this today but I have a question. Did you have to strip the purple wire before you put the quick splice red clip on?
