Just a simple relay will do. 30 goes to hot (15 amp fuse), 87 goes to the fogs, 87a is not used, 86 goes to ground, and 85 is the input from the parking light as a trigger.
So can you run your headlights without the fogs?

It only works when the '50 is in the garage though. I work on it a few nights a week so it probably does get the most time in there.

I've had to move everything over to this place since my mother got tired of me having 5 or 6 cars stuffed into her basement.

So I compromised and left 2 (most expensive) and brought 4 back. Now they fight over the garage.



The Jag never gets in, the Lexus rarely does, the Merc claims the garage, but it gets kicked out when I am working on my '50.

No, I specifically made it to where I would have the fogs on at all times the tail and parking lights are on (wired into parking). Goes back in the day from when I used to drive lowrider trucks. Got into the habit and that's just how I like it.

That's cool, so you can run your fogs with the highbeams then too.

BTW - I used to rock a slammed B2200 "targa" with a walk through into the bed which had a solid topper on it. That was a fun little truck.

Yah, I can run every friggen light on the car at once.......lol. Living on a dark mountain and driving like I stole it up the mountain makes having the fogs and highs on a real plus. Since it is on it's own relay and fuse it doesn't affect the stock system in any way so no extra draw on the system.


B2200, yeah.... I remember those days. I had a mazda b2000 way back in the day with a convertible hard top.

When I saw the "high speed run" and the last pic on the road I thought of the line. "Once this baby hits 88mph your going to see some serious s***". I didn't know that the black Sc was a 92. I like the conversion along with the blue needle gauges. Did that run you around $150 to get rebuilt? I wish I had space to put my cars without people complaining.

Looks good OLT i would have never guessed your SC was a 92 by the looks of it in the pictures.
