Rear fog coding help
I don't have xenon headlights so my tail lights are not led. It there a way to code the rear fogs to come on with the tail lights to provide more light at night? I tried to just change my tail light bulbs to brighter leds but despite coding out the warm and cold checks, they still showed a malfunction code so I took them back out.

You really don't want the rear fog light to be on all the time like other have mention. They light up like if you are braking. It is a bit annoying driving behind someone that has it on in weather that doesn't called for it. I only use it when it's foggy or raining or blind annoying tailgaters. |

It's not clear from the original posting if the fog lights are intended to supplement the brake lights or will they be used a running lights? If it's the latter, then one just installs the Euro-style headlight switch assembly that adds another button for rear fogs. Takes about 5 minutes tops, but the switch is really quite expensive and installing the right version (and there seems to be a lot), is supposedly an issue. For example, there are different switch assemblies depending on whether one's car has xenon lights vice halogens, etc.
