Fog Light Splicing Question - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ScionFR-S · 08-15-2014, 08:14 PM

I Have the Diode Dynamics kit and i must splice the wire from the headlights, therefore, when my headlights are on then my fogs go on with it... I'm wondering if i would be able to splice the wire of the blinkers? would this cause the fogs to also blink when i have my turning signal on ? or would it always have a steady current.

Don't splice with the blinkers or you'll get the behavior you describe. You could try splicing with the parking lights, but that would mean that your fogs would go on with the parking lights. Best to do it with the headlights.

I splice into the parking lights. Don't splice into the blinkers.

Don't splice into blinker. Splice either into the parking lights or the headlights. I recommend the headlights as they are the easiest to get to.
