DRFL (Daytime Running Fog Lights Mod).

Approx time to complete: 1.5 hours

Difficulty level: Medium (due to small area to work in, white grid removal)

Tools Needed: Metric socket, flat-head screwdriver, knife (x-acto knife), Phillips screwdriver, flashlight, Solder (if you are soldering the wires together, electrical tape.

1) Remove glove box (unscrew 4 screw from two plates underneath glove box, undo two plastic pins on each side of the glove box. They hold glove box from falling to floor inside glove box, unlatch and pull towards you).

2) Remove plastic shield behind glove box (6 screw then pull towards you)

3) To make things easier and to provide more working area, I removed the 2 zip ties that secure the massive wiring section to a bracket. One tie was mounted towards the rear of glove box section, and the other zip tie secured the wires right on top of the white grid/box.

4) Hardest step: Remove white grid assembly (don’t’ know what it’s actually called but you’ll know it when you see it. It’s a bitch to get off but she’ll come. There is (1) screw that secures the bottom part of the grid to the car. Remove this first and working with the clips/tabs much easier.

There are 2 clips located towards the top on each side. The one on the right will require you to push a bunch of wires to the side to see it. The white grid tabs need to be pushed away from you (towards the front of the car).

5) You have exposed a row of relays. One of them is a different color than the others (orange instead of green in my case but that may differ for you. The fog light relay is always different from the other relays though, at least according to my shop manual). Verify that this relay is the fog relay by touching it while turning on the fogs. You should feel it “click”.

6) The trigger wire for the relay is yellow with a gray stripe (top wire on the backside of the relay. Cut the trigger wire leaving enough space to play with both ends. Seal off the end not going to the relay (or use it to actuate another relay if you want to use for your fog button for something else (but remember that your headlights will always come on with that button as well).

7) Tap the trigger wire to whatever you want to fogs to be on with. In my case I have them on switched power (red wire with white stripe) so that they act as DRLs. You could also tap into headlight power so that they would come on with your headlights or any other crazy things you can come up with.

Final Wire:

8) Seal off the wire that you cut with electric tape and seal up the soldered job. I used electrical tape.

9) Check to make sure everything works.

10)Put glove box back together.

11) Enjoy new fogs:
