How to rewire the fogs to come on without the headlights

The fogs can easily be rewired to allow them to be run without the headlights. The fog light switch on the turn signal stalk still continues to turn the fogs off and on as before - the only difference is the fogs can be turned on without the headlights. This is a especially great mod for those with DDE's. The best part: This mod is nearly free.

Please note: While the fogs still shut off when the high beams are turned on (in accordance with various state laws), in some states it's illegal to have fogs on without headlights and could cause you to fail inspection. Be sure to check your local laws before proceeding.
