How do I kill the daytime running lamps w/ fogs on?!

[crazzzy]

It seems like everyone else can drive aroudn without their daytime running lamps on when the fogs are on EXCEPT me, how do I fix this?

Thanks!

Don't you need to set up a special switch or button so you can use it to get away from cops easier and such...

[crazzzy]

Huh?

[nicom3]

Im a little lost are you askin how people drive with their fogs on and their daytime lights on as well?

[runetang]

I think hes asking how to turn the running lights (turn signal lights) off and have just the foglights come on when he turns the daytime lights on.

and the answer depends on what kinda car you drive doofus. If its an e36, theres one out of 3 wires that connect to the bulb-holder that you simply disconnect, and they will light up when you hit the turn signal but they dont stay on when driving.

I'm pretty sure it's a grey wire that you pull on the front turn signal bulb socket.

And if it's not, just keep snipping away and eventually you'll get it. Parking lights are pretty ghey. City lights are where its at

You have your Daytime Running Lights activated, that's why.

Get your dealer to program them off (it's actually the default setting).

Unless, what you're really asking is how people run their fogs without their parking lights. That's something completely different.

Well, right now my daytime running lamps will run always UNLESS I turn on my headlights. But I want it so that I can have just my fogs and parking lights on together without the daytime lights on.

Right now I can have either just daytime running lamps, OR daytime running lamps and parking lights, OR daytime running lamps fogs and parking lights, or headlights and fogs with no daytime running lamps.

Is there a way I can get rid of the daytime running lamps all together without taking out the bulbs?

I hope that made sense

disonnect them or the switch on your ebrake but then you will get you ebake on light all the time

Did you even bother reading my post?

Have your dealer deactivate the DRLs

Perhaps you will see it this time.

[crazzzy]

Thanks tdc .. I will try that

Hey i know what your talking about. I just got my daytime lights turned off today. If i have a e46 so just go to the stealer if u got an e46 too. The process only takes 2 min to get done so make sure they dont charge you!




P.S. Dont go to Rallye they will charge. They suck.

Rallye

[crazzzy]

Rallye is where I usually get my car serviced, where do you guys get your car serviced?

Whats the best place to go on long island?

hmmm - so with my E36, how do you set it up so that you can run the fogs, but NOT the parking lights.. just fogs, nothing else.
I assume rewire so that the fog button will activate the lights without the parking/headlights having to be on.
Anyone know of a writeup that tells how to do this? Im sure there HAS to be one out there...
also - why the hell do the fogs turn off when the highbeams go on? It doesnt really matter, but Im just curious as to why it does that.
