Fog light help.....

I have read somewhere on how to make it so that you can turn your fog lights on with the parking lights. I can turn them on with my headlights, but not my parking lights. You can pull the switch out with the parking lights on, but they wont come on until you turn the headlights on.

Can someone help!!??

You could just get a new switch. Look for one off a later model Excursion or Expedition. NOT a SD as they have a different switch.

That's probably the best option as to make it pull out in PARKING light mode you have to do some Dremeling of the switch. I got mine for like $15 off eBay.

Oh...in that case you can just do a jumper wire mod. I cannot remember the wire you jump. But the mod is written down here. Maybe a search for "jumper wire" or "fogs on with parking lights" will yield something.

When I get around to putting fog lights back in my truck, I'd like to have a similar setup. On my superduty, I can only pull the switch out when the headlights are on. What years did the Excursion have the ability to pull the switch out at parking lights?

I'd rather not drimel if a switch can be had for $15.

My 2001 Ex has the ability to pull the switch out on parking lights.

Are they tinted or did you buy them that way?? Do you have a closer picture of them??

Those should be the headlights from an 05-07 Harley-Davidson edition SD.
