Has anyone here with a ls430 done the fog light rewire so it comes on with parking/running lights or just without headlights period??? I 've been thinking about doing this for a few weeks now but just wanted to kno if anyone has done it, thanx in advance....

 

I'm not sure if it's similar or not but you can do it on the 2gen GS, it's involve hook up additional relay at the Engine fuse box.

 

I'm interested in this mod as well. We will just have to wait and see who chimes in.

 

Here is how it is done.

The correct way is change to coil side of the stock relay from low beam to the parking light/ignition/separate switch however you want it on. this way no additional relay, and you don't have to run any wires from the fogs to inside the car.

Im not sure what he's saying any pics??? Or maybe jus a lil more explaining, thanx in advance....

 

If i can find the relay that wouldnt be a problem, i did it on all my carz, 96 max, 96 q45, 2002 max, 01 i30, wanted to do it to my 91 ls400 but didnt get around to it, i check the engine bay for foglight relay but had no luck, maybe i missed it idk...

 

just be careful...had some dude in the first gen ls forums post up unclear diy..one of my customer try it himself and fried the circuit...it went from a 60 bux rewire job to a 60 an hour troubleshoot good luck.

 

i just paid a stereo shop an hours labor to do this and they put in a separate switch near my smart key buttons and it looks very clean.

 

Hmm may look clean but Rev's way is cleaner. He did my LS4 and maybe I should have him do my 430 now. Add that to my next visit Rev

 

Wheres the relay for the fogs located??

 

^i don't know right now to be honest since no one ask me to do it yet...i can figure out once people ask.

 

Rev,

I think many of us here will appreciate it if you would take the time and figure it out. Would it help if I can ask my friend for a wire diagram?

 

^^^ Yes that would help, jus for the fog relay tho, thanx...

 

i understand what you guys saying...

but i don't have the diagram or anything....what i mean is if someone ask me to do it on the island i can figure it out without any notes.

i can get customer's car done really fast...however at the end of the day just wanna take it easy...

kinda like cooks don't like to cook at home you know what i mean?
