are those high beams or are you on an angle? those fog (yellow) lights are BRIGHT!
Just zip tied them to a wire harness for the turn signals I believe.hey when installing the Extreemultinon LED-PHILIPS Xtreme Ultinon LED Fog Bulb fog valve H8/H11/H16 type 2700 K. where did you mount those resister boxes.?
Thank you for the information! I'm not as knowledgeable with car electric components so I try not to mess with anything unless I have a solid set of instructions by someone that has done the exact same thing before. I don't think I want to add another switch to the truck right now as I've only had it for 3 months. Maybe when I have a little more of it paid off and I'm sure it is going to last me a long time.Its cool. Its fog light install related and not some opinionated argument.
So, here is the issue with that. The fog lights have a relay under the hood. I tried to do the same thing and found that the controlling of the lights in not at the relay but internal to the switch itself. So its actually in the stalk. If it was in the relay it could be changed. The only other way to do it is to run a separate switch. That would be easy. You could just tap into the fog light wire in the steering column and then wire a switch to chassis ground. Switch off - fog lights as normal. Switch ON- well they're on no matter what. That would work just sucks that you have to add a switch.
I talked about this in another post. To be more specific, a relay has 4, um Inputs /out puts. On this rig there is 12v constant powering one side of the coil (switching of the relay)and the other is a ground from the switch. The there is 12v constant for the lights. The ground signal disappears when you go to high beam and isn't available till the lights are on. since its just this one signal were hosed. If the relay used the 12V signal from the headlamps as a trigger or power then that could be changed to 12V constant or parking lights. Since its just the ground from the stalk and thats being done internally its most likely not able to be changed even if you tore teh switch apart.
I used the same ones as Dman yesterday (Calais off of Amazon). $20, and so worth it. No issues.I have installed yellow LED fog lights and have no issues with them at all. No lights on the dash, no nothing. All is well on the dashboard of my RL haha.
Could you link the bulbs that fit the Ridgeline. This will help those of us who are clueless about this stuff :grin:I used the same ones as Dman yesterday (Calais off of Amazon). $20, and so worth it. No issues.
