    Asiah19,
    Do as Joop said, run a wire from fogs to inner halogens but insert a disconnect inline. So run them like you want to for 364 days a year, but when going to get your annual state safety inspection just disconnect at the inline connection so the fogs & inners won't light up when the inspector flashes your high beams.

    See that hole in the top right of the inner bowl?



    Follow this and wire it into your fog lights:

    Thanks, I think I ran across that diy last night when I was trying to get to sleep.

    BCS, those inners don't light up for me with my high beams, they only kick on when I pull the stick for flash to pass. The inspector will still probably not be happy with there being 3 sets of lights on if I have my lowbeams, and fogs on.

    I believe you are referring to part of the coding to create the trifecta mod:

    FL_UND_NSW_NICHT_GLEICHZ "Fog lights turn off when high beams are activated" US has this on by default. Coding can turn this off and allow fogs to stay on when the high beams are activated. This does not turn on the fogs and high beams together which I believe is what you are aiming for.


    JP has the right idea where you wire the citylights to tap to the foglight switch wires. That is probably your best bet to activate the lowbeam bowls without "flagging" your inspection guy.

    The oddity is that they arent really highbeams that I'm messing with because those h7s only activate when I pull the stick. What I'm aiming for is, or at least what I think I'm aiming for is, fog, lowbeam, flash to pass all on at once. Because I want it for an actual 'fog' light to send out more colored light than white having it activated with unshuttered xenon i think would defeat the purpose.

    I (still) have red high beams. I am sure it is completely illegal but when I actually kick on the high beams it is a bright red color. I'll take a picture for you when I get back home on Thursday night if you like. I think yellow would be a lot more subtle then the red I have.

    All i did was pick up a can of red spray paint and my relatively old bulbs and sprayed em. If you look directly at my lights in the daytime you can see that they are red. I think it is stupid now and when I did it I was going through my red phase (red bmw badge, red bbs caps, red bulbs, etc..) but I have been WAYYYY to lazy to get in there and switch em back to standard bulbs.


    I really have no idea what I am doing

    Isn't that "Trifecta"?

    and I did fail VA inspection for that. (I pulled the fog light housings, passed inspections then reinstalled them).

    From my understanding, disabling the fogs off with highbeams would only get me fogs on and unshuttered xenon, if I push the stick forward my H7s dont light up. I'd be happiest with shuttered xenon, h7, fogs.

    Bullfrog, I already have yello h7s in and they put out some good yellow light, just only when I pull and hold the stick for an extended 'flash to pass' I'll put up pictures when I get home in about an hour.
