Independant fogs

[vr2jetta]

I was wondering why all the independant fog light mods are done in the relay panel? Cant some wires be crossed in the switches to get the same result? I dont like the idea of having wires under my relays.

you can do it inside the box

ask me how i know

What box? The relay panel? I know you can do it from there but I dont feel comfortable with a wire between the relay and the panel.

inside the fuse box

if you were to SEARCH you would find a thread explaining all of it with pictures, that is how I did it.

P.S. I am not going to search for you or give you a link, find it on your own it is here

Man, Fuck you! I did search! I found lots of info and I found quite a few links telling me "how" to do it. Im not a retard. I dont like the idea of drilling a hole in my relay prongs and rigging me up a fire hazard under the hood! I read in one post he had issues if he pushed the relay in too hard. Sounds like more trouble than its worth.

If you were to READ you would find I was asking why this mod is not done where the switch is and not in the relay box.

Bro the only way I can do it was running 2 wires from the relays , 1 wire from k4 relay pin 30 and the other 1 from k8 relay pin 87 and connecting both to the original switch with a inline fuse , this way you can run the fogs even with the key out , I'l post some pics later (sorry about my english I from cuba)

People like to do the wire-between-the-relay cause for some reason, when it comes to wiring, they think their e30 is someday going to sky-rocket in value and they must keep it 100% factory.

Mine is worth over 4 trillion already...in Zimbab dollars...

Seriously, why the attitude? If you do't like the answers already provided, pave your own path. Show us that better way!

Then, you can be cool and shit and edumicate us with a nice writeup.

Until then, don't be a douche.

well you must not have searched very hard because I did it off of here without drilling ANY holes in anything

little bit of soldering and a butt connector INSIDE the fuse box(inside the box not just on the panel) and a small chunk of wire

relax dude

the pics in a write up IS on here

look harder

[fanjioe30]

here is how i do






sorry for the cell pics


results , enjoy it (on even with the key out)

My fog light wiring is cooler than anyone elses fog light wiring.

Dude. That is total fucking hackery. I would fire your ass in a flat fucking second if you did that shit in my shop.

If it doesn't look at least as good as BMW wiring, it is not fucking adequate.

If you can't do better than that, buy a fucking Honda.

And I bet his lights stay on with the key removed - urrrr.

Someday, Luke, Andy, or myself should do a guide on basic, basic electrical stuff. Just to get everyone on the same page.

will you please? i'd like to learn some stuff from you guys. i'd appreciate it.

[george graves]

Yea, maybe when the weather warms up I'll get out the video camera, and show how to use a multimeter, and maybe a relay trick or to. Oh, and how to find wires and read wiring diagrams. That's the hardest thing to learn at first I bet.
