Yes, use your search key. There is a write up on here somewhere. All you do is switch a couple wires around on your fog light switch. I just can't remember where the write up is. search, and you'll find it.

The fog light mod is one of my favorite appearance mods on a SHO.
Looks so nice when the sun starts to set or when it's not too sunny out.

You could also do the fishtank mod which also looks good. Same website has instructions there also.
both were actually quite easyhawkeye18

I think Mr. Ben Brausen got it right; there is absolutely no need to go cutting & splicing all these wires. Just cut the 3rd wire down and get one of those little 3M clicky thingies that you splice wires with... Scotchlok? I think they're called? and use that. That way, you don't have to cover any loose ends with elec. tape, and it will be a lot easier to go back to the original function, if that were ever desired.

So like that you power your foglight with the power from the parking lights.
May be okay for stock lights, but with aftermarket better units, I'd run a relay down in the engine bay and power them directly from the battery instead.
(Like an aftermarket Headlight harness works)

Well, generally any set of aftermarket foglights is going to come with a relay kit that you should use.
On a side note, I did this real quick today and now my foglights don't work at all, and the light on the foglight switch won't come on... hmm.
oh wait, after reading it again, I just realized that I did it wrong. Man, I hope I didn't screw anything up lol...

There's a chance I'm wrong here, but doesn't the stock fog lights have a relay to begin with?

Found it. I had burnt up the 5A fuse (#13) when I hooked the headlight line to the fog light line. Replaced the fuse, and now I have foglights w/o headlights! woo!

Hurry up meow.
I just ran a wire from a switched power source to the red/black wire. I didn't want to tie the fog lamp power into the dash lights power source to avoid the possibility of blowing any fuses.
This way the fog lamps can be on at anytime when the car is on, and you don't need a relay.

and I ran a wire from the brown park light circut on the headlight switch over to the foglight switch, so that if the dimmer switch is turned down, that my foglights will still light up.
food for thought there.

is there any way you can turn your fogs on with everything else off?

yeah, you'll just have to find a switched (on with key on START or ON) wire to put into wire #3 instead of the dimmer wire.

I don't understand why there are three wires. Why is there a wire for power from the parking/dash lights? Can't you just unplug the parking/dash lights (top blue/red wire) and plug a switched source into #3 where the headlamp power goes?
