    Default Getting ss driving lights to turn on with headlights?

    Hi,im just wondering if theres an easy way of getting the vr ss driving lights to turn on with the low beam headlights instead of just parkers without stuffing around with the wiring to much (no cutting etc) and without doing any damage(ie burning something out)?
    i remember reading somewhere you could add a piece of wire onto one of the relays and it would work and could easily be removed if you wanted to for rego etc but im not sure...
    yes i know about its illegal to drive with them on together but its more so IF i was to do it,how?

    Don't you have the fog light button? I thought that turned them on regardless.

    yeah mate you'll just have to change the trigger wire from the parkers to the low beams, or alternatively just have the trigger wire straight to power/earth. can't remember exactly whether its positively or negatively triggered,
    can probably get back to you later on today though.

    Basically the low beam relay coil gets its negative from the fog lamp relay contacts .These contacts are made when the fog lamps are not on...so when you turn them on the low beams go off...to fix it all you have to do is run a wire to earth from terminal 87 of the low beam relay wiring and take a wire out of 87a of the foglamp relay or use a relay that doesnt have a 87a contact like one similar to your low beam relay and the low beams will stay on when you turn them on whatever the fog relay does
