Fog lamps on w/ parking lamps - SRT Forums

I saw a guy the other day that purchased the Multi-Function switch w/fog lamps. PT#56010126AF from a jeep liberty renegade for $36.03. This switch allows you to pull the fog light nub out w/ parking lights.

You can modify your factory one, it only takes about 45 minutes. Not that hard really, I did mine a while ago.

all you really need to do is buy another switch, mount it wherever you want, cut the pink/green wire in the interior fuse box, run one side of cut line to switch, and a 12v source to the other side of the switch, and you're done. I used a 12v ACC line so i dont have to worry about leaving my fogs on and draining my battery.

Now i can have fogs on whenever i want....when there are other lights on, when i have high beams on, whenever!

im tryin to figure out now how to get more light outta the stock headlights.....go out to your car and turn the lights on.....then turn on high beams, then turn back to low beams, but keep the stick held in....see how much more light there is?

Yes you could do that, but for those guys like me that like to keep a stock oem interior appearance (w/o extra switches to deal with or look at), I'd rather do the switch mod like in that link above. Another way to have them come on ONLY with the parking lights is simply to tap power from the parking light bulb, the use that power as a input signal for a relay and voila! Thank you for posting that link!!!!

When you are doing that you are burning both of the fillaments inside of the bulb. 9007 are dual fillament bulbs and burning both of them at the same time severely shortens the life of the bulb.

is this a direct swap?

bump from eons ago. Is this a direct swap? I know the Pt Cruiser one has a bigger hazard button so it won't work.

Cheapest/easiest way to do it is the wire swap method. Pull out your fuse box, and swap the wires from the fogs and the low beams. (the two tone wires need to be cut and swapped, leave the ground wires) they should be the bottom two fuses on the box. The order is changed from park > low > fog to Park > fog > low and high beams still work properly.

i have no interest in doing it the cheap way. I want to be able to control when my fogs are on, not just just have them on first. And I like the fact that replacment always looks neater then rewireing even if know one will see it. But thanks for the help again. But is this a direct swap? Or should i be the first to pioneer it.

E-BlueRocket · 07-18-2005, 07:15 PM

theres a thread around here, that you swap 2 wires behind the fuse block, and when you use your multifunction switch to turn on headlights the fogs come on, and when you pull it out the headlights come on.. very simple

OG Neon · 07-19-2005, 05:22 AM

i am aware of that thread, but the thing is I don't want my fogs on whenever i have my headlights on. I want to be able to control them independently.

back from the dead, does anyone know if this multifunction switch is a direct replacement?

OG Neon · 02-20-2006, 12:17 PM

it is a direct replacment, but you have to jump a few wires on the plug to get it to work right. But after that it works like it is suppose to. I just don't have the link to the re wire part.
