Okay I have seen alot of talk from the other forum and now over here...I have figured out how to have your fogs come on with your headlights..thats right no more having to hit the switch, this mod also keeps your fogs on with your highbeams. This mod will still allow the use of your fogs with the switch when your headlights are not on. I am currently toying with the idea of putting together a kit with all parts and full illustrated instructions...this is a simple DIY mod....Now the real question...Who is interested and what would you be willing to pay for it???

I may beintrested but will not want to pay more than $50 considering the 4HighMod for these Tahoes is only like $30?

how about a mod that does NOT turn on the headlights when Approach Lighting is on? having HIDs turn on and off frequently is not good for them so i just turn off Approach Lighting...but I really would like to have Approach lighting on.

You could wire it like the GMT 800 that pop on the DRLS.

thanks but that won't help. when approach lighting is on the HIDs turn on as well. then when i get in to start it up, they turn off for a second then turn back on again unless i turn the knob to off. i don't mind turning them on with the knob once it's started, i just don't want the HIDs to turn on with approach lighting.

sorry, didn't mean to thread jack.

I too switch off the approach lighting, and all you have to do to keep it good is when you get in just start up, don't pause at all. Just crank on and the HIDs won't turn on till you are done starting.
Or more recently I started just putting the switch to the sidemarker, then after start up I switch it to Auto of keep it till I get outside and notice the radio light is brighter then the dash, then you know its safe to switch to Auto because the DRL will turn on direct instead of the HL first.
LoL this was kind of long....

I really just would not worry. My moms gmc acadia has stock HIDS and they turn on with the remote. They also go off and on when you start. its about a year and a half old now with no issues. Same with my dads enlave.

Yeah I figure it will be no harm as long as the voltage to the HID doesn't flunctuate like DRLs!
Damn an Enclave and Acadia are almost the same, Enclave is better though!

I prefer the acadia 10 fold. Bigger. Seats are better, Rides softer. Enclave is quiter and has more features. But the acadia just feels better. The lights turning with the steering wheel are pretty cool though on the enclave. But I also owned an acadia for a while. I had it with my 06 yukon. Sold it cause the v-6 was a waste and I missed my pick up. lol.

You guys want to chat with each other make your own damn thread...now back on track with the mod stated...this is a simple mod that will be priced below $20. Anyone interested in it just pm me as it would be easier to manage.

ok I will ask this again. WHy is is so hard to push a god damn button. Also to sell a product to the masses you need a vendor account.

yeah thanks for the vendor account info, but not selling squat to the masses as of right now..if I do then I will upgrade at that time..I haven't a fkn clue as to why its so hard to push the button, but I have seen that there is an interest in doing so.
