Default Wiring Fog lights to come on with DRL's or......

So i recently saw a pic on CL of an IS250 with his Fog lights on with the DRL (daytime Running lights). I think it looked cool. Is there anyone that can do a DIY for how to do that? Or clue me in on what wires to merge or how to wire up this mod.

Also i have the Vaistech V-line LED lights, If i can't do the first option of wiring up fog lights with DRL How do I turn them off (maybe i could just pull out the bulb) so i could just have the V-lines on without the OEM DRL's on........ but isn't it just the Bright bulb so i wouldn't have it. Im totally clueless on this topic.

youre going to have to tap into the ignition wire that is in the driver side fuse box under the hood and run it into a relay that is independently power so that whenever the ignition is on the fogs will be on.

heres an example of the wiring you will need to do.

you can also add a switch and run it into the cabin so that you can turn the fogs on and off whenever you have.

Is there a way to keep the OEM DRL's from coming on so I can just run my V-line lights?

Search the forum there's a diy showing how to turn on the fog light without turning on the headlight. It's not hard
