Question How hard would it be to....

98 GS400

Wire things so that when you turn on your "turn signal" your corresponding fog light blinks in sequence with your OEM turn signal?

I think it would be kinda cool, especially with yellow fogs, and certainly more visible to on coming traffic.

Although one problem I can see is that your fog light bulb is 55w, and turn signal bulbs are like 5w, I think....

TIA

Thanks blitz - I actually contacted my stereo shop since the posting, and yep, they said it should be a big deal; now just finding the time to get there.

Why do you think it would be illegal? I would think the functionality is very similar to a cornering light.....and I've seen several makes of other cars that when they turn on their turn signal, their fog light comes on?

i think it's going to be illegal b/c the cars you seen before that wasn't fog lights, that was something like a guide light so can see the sides better when you changing a lane or something. that's not like 55 watts, maybe 20 watts max??. especially, when it's yellow...hmmmmm... cops will really follow you.

55 watts for a corner light isn't safe and therfore it will cause you a ticket. hopefully, it's a fixed up ticket.

to make sure, it will be ok to go and ask any cops when you done. (don't show them your car!)

Thanks b.

I think I'm seeing "rice" up ahead. Maybe this is a mod I should steer clear of.
