Default Fog lamps on without headlights

Does anyone know if there is a somewhat simple way to have the fog lights turn on independent of the headlights?

I know there is a thread on the topic in the 2IS section, I'll see if I can find it later. I believe it has some splicing and re-routing wiring, it is doable though

EDIT: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ification.html
That's a decent write up on the process, some pictures don't load anymore being that it is an older thread, there's a couple other threads linked on the initial post that may be more helpful. I'm sure the wiring is different from the 2IS to the CT but the process should be the same.

This has not been done yet on here? It's usually just swapping out one leg of a relay to a different source like the parking lights from the low beam.

That's how 99% off then are done. One percenter are the Germans that need programming done.

I guess I'll have to step up to the plate and do it soon to show how it's done :-)

That would be great

Slightly off the original topic but is there also a simple fix to keep DRLs on 100% (even with low beams on)?

This is exactly what I am looking for. I just picked up a 2014 CT 200H F Sport and would love my DRL's and Fogs to be able to turn on together.

Is that a joke? I'm not sure why you need to direct traffic to FB. I don't see why the answer can't just be posted here, considering this is where the question originated.

I'll break it down for you.

Facebook = instant upload, post can be created and uploaded in about 2 minutes.

Club Lexus = Upload it to a cloud service, EDIT a whole post. grab the HTML code for the photos. EDIT IT AGAIN so it can be linked properly. write comments for the photos. EDIT it again. now its 30 minutes into this whole ordeal. thats if the post goes correctly.

I hope this answers your question why? Convenience is one of the major reasons why message boards like these are slowly getting less and less traffic.

Since this car came out in 2011, no one in the last 6 years did it. it was asked at 1/20 @ 635am, i got it figured out and posted in less than 48 hours. If i'm not posting it up, who else is going to be up for the challenge?
