Fog lights as DRL mod - DIY help!

[dan.oneufer]

Can you explain the resulting behavior:
Will the fogs illuminate at full brightness?
Will the fogs come on when the ignition is on--regardless of the switch position?
Will the fogs remain on when that side's turn signal is flashing?
Will the fogs remain on when the headlights are on?

Here is a quote from the above link:
"be aware that the fog lights will always be on and:
- when you turn the key on the fog lights will come on, prior to cranking the engine. This can be your new battery level indicator; if the fog lights dim much when you crank, then your battery needs charging.
- when you turn on your low beams the fog lights will still be on, so you have both your low beams and fog lights on.
- it is very easy to remove
- easy enough to add a switch to be able to turn on/off this new MOD"

panameras is correct. But be warned that the halogen fogs are 55w, I believe. Those lights were designed to use at night or on a foggy day. Having them on in scorching heat and sun will likely cook your light covers. So, LEDs should be substituted.

That can look good....very "in" today, but I have not had great success finding the right bulb. What I have looks bluish and is minimal light compared to the original halogens. panameras also suggested some replacement LED bulbs, but at $47 per pair I need to be sure that they are pure white and not bluish before buying. So, I'll wait for more comments.

Overall, the whole project is a great idea. The car needs these. These cars are just to easy to miss in traffic and driving lights are helpful.

Excuse me…
I have LEDs on order for the whole car, except headlights & fogs, but what I need to know is…..

How many 25W (or 50W) 6 ohm load resistors do I need?

I smoked my front corners and turn signals and need a bright bulb to be able to see them in the daylight. I am doing the turn signals front & rear, brake lights & running lights and, of course, backup lights. Has someone covered this ground before?

Thanks sorry to go off-topic but I figured someone reading this would know.

Carry on.
