The "Fog Mod" for independent running of the fog light is simple in USA cars without DRL. Simply short Relay R13.

How about in Canada, where there is DRL ? Are the instructions modified ? I understand there is a way to make the fogs be the DRL lamps - and turn them off when Low Beams are switched on ? Can someone post instructions ? Is there a heat/temperature problem with fogs running as DRL ?

Talk to Paolo. He's played around with this enough.

Caution tho. I blew two fuses due to this mod... went back to stock after that.

take relay 12 out and there goes your DRL's.

I've been using my fogs for DRLs for a couple months now at least and havent had any problems.

There are the instructions here:

And a little discussion we had about it here:

For the record, you should be able to do the fog light mod without touching the DRL relay.. I dont think that should make a difference.

I notice the model used is not an SVT. Just checking to make sure everything is exactly the same for an SVT's fog lamps and possibly different wiring. :unsure:

You should check in your manual under fuses/relays and it'll show you a diagram of the fusebox with all the slots labelled. If it uses the same number of relay in the same spot, I would make a good guess it would be exactly the same. It wouldnt really make sense to change that on particular models, since they all have the same headlight/foglight electrical setup.

SVTF is the same B)

That's actually my ZX5 in the pics, i've had the fog mod done for about 2 years and 3 months. No blown fuses, no burnt bulbs yet. But then again everything is stock on my car..heh
