Adding AUX lights using the factory fog light wires

[AimCOtaco]

Reviving this as I just modified the fog control circuit in my '99 to my liking (new BD fog lights made it worthwhile).

I started at the combo switch pin 17 as others have, grounding it.

In order to have the hot side of the fog relay coil hot whenever the parking/tail lamps are lit, working in the left kick panel I de-pinned 11 from the (2J) plug and left the Red-Blue wire floating, then I re-fed it with a jumper and spare connector socket spliced to the tail light output at pin 10 in plug (2O), green wire. This is similar to how the factory powered the relay from the low beam output, luckily the low beam and fog relays are in different boxes so there is wiring to work with and change it. -You may need to peep the EWD to make sense of it but it works great, fogs are available anytime the parking lights or low beams are on!

EDIT: Almost, need to tweak a thing.. explanation pending..

Reviving yet again! I have a '99 VX limited that had a TJM Bullbar on it when i purchased it, it had the existing foglight connections stuffed in behind the bullbar for god knows how long, the funny thing was it didn't have the switch on the stalk!

I've recently purchased a replacement stalk with the twist fog light switch, swapped it in and BINGO, the fog light dash indicator illuminates, the problem is, my fog lights are getting power.

The TJM Bar had parker lights/indicators integrated into it, which were powered by splicing into the factory looms. I'm trying to figure out where to look and see what is disconnected for my foglight wiring!

Being a RHD car, the kick panel with all the relays on the back of it is basically a dash out job as the aircon condenser and a myriad of other bits are in the way, so I'd love to try and avoid pulling the relay if possible. I plan on buying a multimeter tomorrow but also need to know what to check and where to trace power!

Both fuses relating to fog lights in kick panel and engine bay are fine.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!
