Undecided about the fog light?! Help

cooltoy

So it's on all the time?

When I had mine I changed the socket for a dual 7443 bulb and wired it into the tail lights and brake lights,When the tail lights are on the bulb would be as bright as a regular tail light,but when the brakes are applied it is a bright as a brake light.

It's on whenever my headlights/parking lights are on. And I keep my headlights in auto mode, so it's on when it needs to be on. Plus the rear fog tends to be annoying to drivers behind me so it keeps them off my *** which I like.

mine is OEM and there is a separate switch on the stalk. It shuts off with the car and has to be turned back on. I also have my headlights on auto.
It's very bright but I would like to use it all the time so I may just tint it to tone it down a bit.

If you have the stock bulb in it you can't tone it down,you have a 7440 bulb and socket you will need a 7443 build and socket which is a dual element bulb one for taillight and one for brake light.

can i get the evo r one and keep it on at all time? i dont like the blinking.... is it very bright?

gurneyeagle

The EVO-R comes with two leads - one that will blink, and one that stays on solid.

I don't think it's that bright, definitely not as bright as the LED third brake light mounted on the hatch.

Nice ill put the solid but where do I connect that to my head lights

chrischhorn

You can splice to the harness of your license plate lights or just splice it directly into your brake light harness. I spliced mine into my brake light harness so I could do the blinking when I brake and the light comes on with my headlights/parking lights. I still wonder if I should've done the blinking with the reverse though since as stated earlier. I'm sure the blinking while on the brake could be annoying to drivers behind lol.

That's not bad blinking with reverse and bright for brake

chrischhorn

With the Evo-R light, it can be wired in many ways but you can only wire it certain ways.I thought about rewiring where it DOES NOT come on with my parking lights but instead turns on when I brake so its like a 4th brake light and blinks when I put into reverse. There is no way to make it blink in 2 difference scenarios or turn solid for 2 different scenarios or even just make it brighter with no blinking for just braking. Basically you have to pick a set up you like. But it is a fog light so wiring it to be on with parking lights makes more sense though here in a Hawaii, fog really isnt an issue...lol. If you want to custom setup everything, just buy the JDM light and wire it with relays and what not to make it do as you please.
