Just as the title asks, Is there a way to easily be able to turn the headlights on without making them pop up? I know it would probably cut down vision, but with the addition of my2g fogs I'm wanting to mount,I think it would suffice and look nice for intown driving where there's street lights everywhere.
I know I could run my own wiring to make them come on, but I was hoping there was something simpler, where I could killthe signal to the relay that activates the pop-up motor until i wanted them to pop up anyway... I've looked at the diagrams in the manuals, and it seems as if it's possible by interrupting just one wire, problem is there's no info I can find on where that wire may be.
Any help on this one would be great...BTW I alreadyhave theH4 conversion in the headlights.
Now, the next part,i was really hoping to see a pic or two, but anyway, of the assorted things I kept from the 2g that didn't sell is a set of the nice round fog lights. I really don't have an issue with the 1g OEM fog's looks, I just feel like they could be a lot brighter, and mine are "fogged" both inside and out, and the screws are so rusted up on them, it's going to take a lot more effort than I want to invest to get them apart and polish the inside of the lenses(already done the outside), so I was thinking I'd toss on the 2g units, which after removing the deflector inside the lense they seem as if they are MUCH brighter than the 1g units.
Anyway, wiring and such isn't a problem, neither is the mounting bracket fab, I was just hoping to get a pic to see if it's going to look as good as I hope/imagine it will.
I've never really worried too much about the lighting on my cars, but being I wasn't too much a fan of the 1g chassis after 17 years of owning a 2g, I was trying anything to help the car look newer/brighter, and so far with exception of the headlights which I couldn't find in LED, I've changed every parking lamp, tail light, interior light ..etc..etc..Into LED bulbs, and IMO it has helped the car appear slightly newer instead of having that 20+ years old and dim look to everything
