DRL-Fog Light Hack

BTW, if no fuse taps then you can easily take 16-18g wire, strip both ends and then wrap one end around one blade of the fuse and then take the other end and wrap around the 86 relay terminal. This is the way I have mine setup.

Not a good idea. If you make the connection on one fuse leg the fog leg connection will be unfused and if do it on the other the fuse risks being overloaded when you turn the headlights on. Good fuse taps have a fuse on the tap. They are inexpensive and easy to order from Amazon.

My car must be unique. No DRL fog light hack needed. I replaced my fog light bulbs with led's and just leave my fog lights switched on. They turn on when the key is turned on, and off when the car is shut off. They also switch off when my high beams are on.

In Canada, the cars have DRL from the factory

Mine is a US car- I purchased it in North Carolina. No DRL's. I am just leaving my fog lights turned on.
