Figured it out!

Yeah Sophomore its pretty easy, but I would wait like you said until you get HIDs, or LED fogs (like me) so it matches.

LED's look cool I may go with those, how bright are they?

Or...if you wanna do it like the pro's...you can do the following

take 4 inches of 16-18 gauge wire
cut it in half so you have (2) 2 inch pieces
solder each piece of wire to each end of the diode
now you have wire-diode-wire...all connected to form one long piece
now cover entire piece with heat shrink...and bam! it looks factory!

This bright, even brighter in person but not too much like HIDs, plus they don't get hot at all.

Exactly what I did and works like a charm. If you want to get carried away, access the underside of the fuse panel and wire in to the harness. Either way works perfectly.

I remember someone mentioning in InTruckDesign's thread it heated up the wire/diode rather quickly...any issues like that for you guys?

Damn I love the way your Hoe looks. Good job.

LED's sound perfect for fogs because I don't want them to be just as bright as my HID headlights.

Did you also use LED's for those parking lights? Is that even legal? Lol

Yep, i remember something about that too. What's the verdict, gents?

 

[WingsAA]

I haven't had any problems. I've had it setup this way for some time and have also drove through the night for 5 hours straight with no issues of any kind.

Thanks man.
And yes they are 3157 LED parking lamps that kind of look a bluish/white, in Texas turn signals that are white/amber are legal so I'm good to go.

What kind've bulb is that in the signals? I like it alot

White 3157 LED, maybe you posted right when I did because I said that above?

 

[Mr. B]

Just did the mod and love it. Thanks for the write-up guys!

 

[onebadrado]

thats led for the turn signla is badass... can you get that type of bulb anywhere or do you have to order it??? thanks...

 

[Modded]

Can get it anywhere, its a 3157 LED bulb but i makes the turn signal blink quicker than normal.

 

[onebadrado]

thanks man..

I learned this because I had it plugged in and went to move the wire with the headlights/fogs on and burned myself, freaking hurt, I've been running it for a few days and no issues so far, I changed how I ran it in the pic because since it was so hot I didn't tuck the wire, it's rigid enough from the heat shrink that I left it sticking up

 

[jdub5256]

Well i did mine today, however when i used the 1N4004 resistor it worked fine but as soon as i would turn the high beams on it would get hot and start to smoke now i let it do it for about 8 minuntes and then eventually is would just burn through the diode and fogs would turn off. so what i did was just ran a 16 guage wire from relay to relay and every thing works fine no heat issue at all the only down fall is what another member said earlier if i want just the parking lights and fog lights on i cant do that it makes the low beams come on as well. no big deal IMO if i really want the fog lights on only i can just pop the hood and pull the wire out temporarly.

Is just using the wire safe? Any consequences? Also, does this work for 01-06? i have an 01. thanks guys! good write up!

my buddy just traded a 04 hoe and he jumped his wire to keep the fogs on with highs but not sure how he did it. is it safe what i did i believe so. now i am no electrician so b carefull but it runs between two relays so that is a part protecion plus the high beams and fogs are fused. but the way i did it i could turn all the lights on and hold the wire and it was still cold after 5 or 6 minutes
