Madison,WI fog light help
I would like to graciously ask for assistance:
My fogs went out last night. They were setup by previous owner to engage when the headlights are turned on. There is no fog light switch. Now when I turn on headlights, fogs do not turn on. No fuses blown. Don Miller cant book me until the week of xmas. I would like to resolve this ASAP. Assistance will be rewarded. Thank you in advance |

Check the bulbs on the fog lights. . .maybe if one burns out, then they don't turn on (like christmas lights)
Also, look at the connections and make sure nothing is loose. . .and then I'd also make sure you don't have any frayed wire. . . .and I don't even know electrical that well. . . good luck! |

i bet for a pretty pretty penny Gabe could fix those things so well even the Subaru Factory couldn't do a better job designing and engineering those things.

Sup Aaron...
Of course check the basic things; blinker fluid, muffler bearings, boost fluid, knuzitzs rod savers... You may have incompatible USDM voltage on a JDM only aftermarket lights. Unfortunately without phyically seeing the setup I can only tell you to check for bad/croded crimps/splices/wires/bulbs/fuses etc... If there is a relay (there should be) the coil/contacts may be bad. If you can chop a switch,trim, & some of the wires that go with the switch out of a "junk" car we can retro fit it in & make it look factory... If you want a hidden switch or just make the darn things work period, that is doable. As far as bringing it up or me coming down... Hmmmmm If you do decide to stop up we can fix it, & hang for a while... Saturday is bad & there may be time on Sunday... Gabe. |

I haven't tried heat in the new garage, I could make the old one hit 70 on a 0 degree day. Saturday I have to prep the garage some more... I'll whoop your azz at my latest "retro" gaming find Parking lots... Hmmmmm... I know a couple that might be "Snow covered & slippery" |
