I wired the DRL hack to use the front fog lights for daytime running lights instead of the low beams. The fogs are perfect for use during the day and then the low and high beams work as normal.

The hack involves a single jumper wire between the Fog light relay and the Fog light fuse. The fog lights will go on/off with the ignition switch and are switched off when the high beam headlights go on.

Required Materials:

(10) inches of 16 gauge insulated wire

(2) Fuse taps, Radio Shack P/N 270-1204

(2) Female Quick Disconnectors, Radio Shack P/N 64-3131

Procedure:

1. Strip the wire ends and crimp on the quick disconnects.

2. Plug in a fuse tap to each of the quick disconnects.

3. Locate the fog light relay in the panel above the fuse panel. It is #12, the far left relay in the second row from the bottom.

4. Attach one of the fuse taps to pin 86 of the relay. Bend the tap to conform to the bottom of the relay. Use a piece of electrical tape to hold the wire to the side of the relay.

5. Return the relay to position #12 and run the other end of the wire to the top of the fuse panel.

6. Remove the fog light fuse, 25 Amp, #7 (top row, 4th position from the right) from the fuse panel. Slip the fuse tap on the wire end to the upper leg of the fuse.

7. Return the fuse with the tap up into position #7.

That's it. Easy as pie.
