Need some electrical advice RE: FOGS

[NJ H2]

I just finished installing a set of PIAA 520 fogs but don't know what wire to tap to accomplish the following:

1- Turn fogs on at any time (night or day) with PIAA switch, whether headlights are on or not.

2- Have fogs switch automaticaly off, when highbeams come on.

Any idea on which wire to tap for the PIAA switch power wire?
TIA

Sorry to not be of any help on your question but I am curious as to where you put the lights. I wanted to mount a set of them in either the DRL spot or remove the wings and mount them upside down there.

I have a Manik Grill Guard so they just bolt on the guard itself. I do like the idea of replacing the DRL's with them though!

There's probably someone on this board that can help, if not the dealer should have a tech that can guide you thru it.

If ever thing else fails you can always wire thru the low beam circuit using a common relay. The fogs will be inactive on high beam. You can add separate switch control the signal wire and have the option of fog/low beam or no fog. Or you can also use the parking lights to active fogs, again using separate switch to control signal wire.Both wiring methods are fairly simple, but you can't just turn the fogs on without the parking or lows.

Got to be another way to do want you want though.
