Independent Fog Light Mod
 

Greetings!

Has anyone been able to make the fog lights independent of the lights for an Outlander? I have a 2010 Outlander XLS AWD V6

Right now, the lights have to be on in order to use the fog lights. I am looking to make them independent of the driving lights.

Much appreciated!

If you are comfortable doing your own wiring, I had an idea to add fog lights to my '07. I stopped because I didn't have the full assembly to make it look right...and didn't want to spend the money to get there. Try some searching in here. it was discussed a few years ago that you could buy something like '01-'03 Diamante fog light buttons that will fit right into the button panel where ASC is turned on/off. Use an ACC source and run a single wire into the engine bay to a relay that runs both fog lights. Disconnect the OEM wiring as that won't be used anymore.

As far as I know, you can just get a Lexia device and set an option in the ETACS to have the fog lights turn on even with the headlights off.

Wow, that's pretty cool...what does said "lexia" device go for? If it's over $100, I don't think I'd consider it...

Does anyone have a Lexia device near Sacramento, CA ;)

They are about $100 if you look around. Check eBay.
Also, for other people who may have the device:

Well now I feel like an idiot. My fogs will operate when the parking lights are on, so I'm all good! I just tested this morning and realized this. Oops! Good enough for me, I just didn't want my driving lights on when its foggy. The fog lights to a better job cutting through it.

UPDATE: I don't know why I thought this worked, must have been early morning or something, but my fogs do not work with the parking lights on. They will only work when the lights are on.
