I found out that my fog lights go out when my brite go on? Is that normal? My 08 doesn't do that. There is two kits from LMC for sport. I was gonna call them and find out the scoop. Maybe you need do some adjusting to get the brite HI beams with both lamps. My stock set-up is that the inner lamps go on brite and the outside stay on normal mode. My doors bottoms are sure start to look awful. I'm hoping on just sand blasting the doors and the gaps. I was gonna use POR-15 as a primer/etching then spray bomb the white back on. Same goes for the tail gate. My truck is never gonna be a show piece anyways. I at least get to put in some big miles next week on the old girl.

How your guys fog light work on your ride? I thought that I would have six lights on hi beam, not just the headlights, the fogs go off. Everything is clicked in on the wiring, so this one bugs me.

Would probably work - but if you are looking for max bringtness, you want to have relays somewhere in that harness so that maximum voltage is delivered to each bulb. (I do not know if the oem sport wiring harness has relays - I kind of doubt it though).

I kind of doubt also...I should be able to install a relay?I'm asking because I could pick this stock harness cheap..

Also Dr Evil...sent you a email regarding the wheel caps...

I am saying when you have the low beams on, and the fogs on, when you turn on the high beams, the fogs cut out. Thats the factory setup.

I believe there is a way to make the fog lights stay on this the high beams if you pull the fog light relay in the PDC and install a jumper wire to bypass the relay.





And yes, you are definitely crazier than me....

Hey Mike

To get your fogs to stay on with your hi beams takes about 5 minutes and a 1 cm square piece of cardboard. All it does is "lock out" your fog relay. Simple as that.

Mine has been this way since the day I drove it home.

Homested, can you take a picture of what you did? Only need a 1cm cardboard, to get my fog lights, I'm game.

How many klicks are you guys putting on the old war wagons lately? I'm around 1500 to 2000k a week now. Killed any ricers? I can't lay smoke clouds anymore. I just need a bigger bumper for city driving.

So you have to go through the relay...Can't tap it into the high beam circuit..?To much load...

Ya, I just have to find out which relay to put the jumper into. I'll go and look under the hood. Lately I'm trying very hard not to break stuff. Which is kinda odd coming from me.
