Very nice write up!
Absolutely. I will be in the same boat in three years, too.Thanks for the installation instructions MacDogg!! I'm guessing this is reversible for when I return my leased vehicle. I would just have to reconnect the red wires at the fog light before I turn in the vehicle?
Hey @MacDogg, I'm going to try and do this, but I am no electrician!! I'm ordering parts online to pickup at Autozone. What gauge wire do we have to use to run from the fog light to the fuse box? Did you use an ATC or ATM (don't know the difference) add-a-circuit fuse tap? What size butt connector comes out of the add-a-circuit?Absolutely. I will be in the same boat in three years, too.
I used a Cooper Bussmann/ATM fuse tap from Autozone. I had some wire already in my toolbox and used that and I do not know the gauge wire it was, my best guess was 14 as it was a little larger than the fog wires.Hey @MacDogg, I'm going to try and do this, but I am no electrician!!

Sorry for all the questions!
@MacDogg... thanks again for the help! It all worked out. Didn't use an add-a-circuit. Just wrapped the wires around a 20amp fuse and stuck it in the slot!! Works as advertised!!I used a Cooper Bussmann/ATM fuse tap from Autozone. I had some wire already in my toolbox and used that and I do not know the gauge wire it was, my best guess was 14 as it was a little larger than the fog wires.
The butt connector on the end of the add a circuit...I would guess is 14-16 since I have a small container of them that are blue and it says 14-16.
My LED fogs are wired as DRLs and they turn on when the engine is on and turn off when the engine is off. They stay on when the high beams are on. Basically they are independent of all of the other lights (parking, HIDs).Hi; With the lights wired this way, do the fogs go off when you use the high beams... thanks...jeff
Autozone will have these. Hope this link works, if not it is called a Cooper Bussmann/ATC fuse tap 10 amp.Hi; What is 'add-a-circuit' Is It a part that I can buy at the auto store..?
thanks
Jeff
Not sure what part you are referring to.Hi; I have a question. When you say to cut the red wire on the plug side, Is that the wire running back to the fuse box???
thanks..Jeff
I never looked to see but I assume yes. They come on right away and since they bypass the stock power wire and run straight to the battery they will come on when the car starts.Hi; sorry, just one more question. With the lights wired this way, do the fogs shut off when you use your high beams... thanks

@radar124 You can purchase an "Add-a-circuit" from most auto parts store. It's pretty much a fuse splitter.Hi; sorry, just one more question. With the lights wired this way, do the fogs shut off when you use your high beams... thanks
