DIY: of complete FOG LAMP install

Ah...OK, then plan B would be to use a second hazzard light switch. Would that work?

Yes the hazzard switch would work. If you get both switches you might be able to pop the cover piece off the S-switch on put it on the hazzard switch.

If you wire it so it is a running light and brake light at the same time you would not need a switch plus you won't have to run wires all the way up to the front of the console.

I did this on mine works great.

Thanks for the suggestion, Baer383. I contemplated this option, but have been told that doing so may attract attention from the local law enforcement, and might fail me on my annual state safety inspection. The EVOR-R light has tow functions, so I will wire up the blinking lead directly to the reverse lights much in the same way you've wired to the brake lights.

I changed my order to get another hazzard switch instead of the s-mode switch. I also found out that at least one other forum member went with this option Roadster Rear Fog Light Dang it! I thought I had an original idea for once!

I won't be getting to this install for at least a week, but will post pics when done!
