POed! FOG LIGHT Question SITUATION- I ordered a brite box w/ flood light control from Genos Garage. Last night I installed the $180 kit (mounted and wired) on my truck. A few hours later after dark, I went out to give it a try. Well, the Hight and Low beams came on but no fog lights.. ***? - Here Genos Garage sent me the std box with out the fog light controler and I never noticed it on the invoice. Well now I'm POed..

I could go in to alot more details but heres my question. Is there a way to bypass the foglight circuit so they don't turn off when the hight beams are turned on without system / fuse issues? I want to be in control with the fog light switch. I have an explorer that I did it to and it was just a matter of connecting a jumper to two wire point and the fog light would come on with the high beams. Been like that since 97 with no fuse issues too. Thanks

 

Sorry. So mad I put this in the wrong folder.

 

Not to get off the brite box subject but my truck was in to the dealer yesterday and they was able to enable this function with the drblll thingamajig. I don't know if this is possible on the 03's or not but just a thought, I'm sure one of the pro's could tell us.

 

Cost me about $10 to have high beams, low beams, and fogs all come on at once when I click the high beam switch.

Here's the thread that describes how I did it:

I just switched the wires for the high and low beam on the bulb socket. When my high beam indicator is lit the low beams are on....I still screw up around town sometime. ks

 

call geno's, explain and they WILL make it right..that is the great thing about them.

 

Thanks for the replys, Away for the weekend and just got back. Handymantim-, I knew there was a way to do it, Its just not as simple as I thought. I guess the low beams have seperate wires due to the computerized "lamp out" indicators that the brite box does not interfer with.
If it was as easy as the explorer fix, I would do it. I want the option of useing that OEM fog switch to turn them on or off with the high beams on. Just to play it safe, I'll keep the brite box.

I guess I will call Genos and see what they'll do. I just makes me mad that I didn't notice it until I already installed it. I do recall wondering how the fog lights worked with no harness to them. (Da) Even if they do take it back, I'll have to take it apart again and remail, etc...Thats what sucks.
Thanks for the the info !
