fog light mod

[ScottyB]

bored yesterday, so i tore into my car and got out the dremel :twisted:

in the A4, the fog lights are designed to only operate during use with the low beams. i don't like that so much, because i'd like them to also be on during high beam use to provide maximum lighting, and i'd like to use the fogs when the headlights are completely off for the best lighting in super-thick fog (european A4's are set up like this, EDM fo life dawg). this also allows me to operate the front fogs independent of the rear fog light (the fronts turn on automatically if the rear is turned on in stock form)...although i could care less about that.

most importantly though, i think it looks cool to just have the fogs on.

this meant pulling out a relay from behind the glove box and doing a little soldering. three contacts are ground down, and three are connected via a nice little ghetto shunt (not my work, someone else's picture). when the relay is plugged in, it doesnt go completely in so there is space for the shunt in between the relay box and where it plugs in.

relay getting violated:


fogs only:


fogs with highs:


the end.
