DIY: Independent Fog w/ Original Switch.
Is this what you where talking about? A spade connector? I ended up using one of these in the #2 slot and it worked perfect. I will debate doing the relay so i can use them with the high beams on next.

i just did this ... used the add a fuse thingy bought some fuses and used some 18g wire i had laying around ... used blacktape and needle noses to pinch the wiring together .. took a bout 7 minutes lol and used fuse location 2 cuz it runs of the ignition PIIIIIMPPP
Man i cant wait to do this, not just for the independant fog lights but for the highbeams+fog lights. high beams have a narrow focus and dont show light in the near distance. fog lights fix that! one question tho, whats a "Connectors w/ wire crimper"? i want to avoid soldering, last time i did it, i ****ed up my ps2 bad... and is there anyone that might be avalible on AIM or MSN or sumone who is always on FF, cuz i think i mite have trouble grounding it maybe.. gunna try tomorow, or, today since its 3:30 in da morning -.- and is this reversable?
Just use an electrical connector to join both ends of the wires, or you can use a male/female plug. A crimper is a tool that you would use to squeeze the metal around the wire once the connector is in place on the stripped piece of wire. You can prob. get away with using a pair of pliars. You can google wire crimper and you will see what it is, you have seen them before.
I came back from the dead. I dont know if it applies to the 09s. Dont try it unless you know it will work.
ok here is something i would like to know if anyone has tryed, insted of trying to squezzzzzz in under the dash and cliping the ground to the fog lights so when the high beams are on the fog lighst stay on also, has anyone tryed to just clip the ground going to the fog lights right at the light and grounding it on the front rad support or somthing? will this work? not sure if there is somthing im missing about this but i think it might work has anyone tryed this?
ugh!
im still confused about wat a connector is, is this like a copper clamp that goes onto a bare wire? can someone provide a pic of what this is? that would help me very much. and i have a feelin if i ask the guy "you have an any connectors?" hes gunna go what kind and all that shit. so what should i ask him?
