I'm in the same boat. I have a set of Blazer fogs at home but never got around to installing them since the headlight retrofit took so much time. I did take apart my foglight assembly to see if i could retrofit the blazer fogs into their to keep the same mounting locations but it would require a lot of cutting and moddifying the fog housing. Maybe I can pick up some used ones off here and work on it on the side. Would love to have the better fogs but who knows how much work it will take. |

Sorry to bump a fairly old thread but am i right to assume that if I just stop after connecting the red/green wire to the orange the fog lights will still work independently and the light just won't come on?
My foglight buttons light doesn't work anyways so there is no reason for me to go that far into it if i don't have to |

After completing this my fog lights will now stay on without my headlights but they shut off when my brights are on? Could this be because I have done the DRL delete mod?

What could I have possibly done wrong? I guess it could be because I stopped after connecting the Red/Green wire to the orange one and did not go any further as I don't care about the illumination because it doesn't work on my button anyways. Otherwise I just connected a wire to red/green and ran it to orange.
Edit: I did have to cut the orange wire because T-Taps weren't working. But I soldered everything back together properly and used heat shrink so they are all still connected. It has to be something to do with the second portion of the mod (illumination) |

So this is the strangest thing ever. As my previous post said I didn't do the portion of the mod to make my indicator light work as I didn't care. However, my fogs weren't working with the high beams but were otherwise independent. So today I get in the car and all of a sudden the indicator light is working and the fogs are now working with the high beams. I literally didn't touch anything so I have no idea how this is even possible. My car may be possessed.

I always wanted to do this to my 2012 sports premium impreza fogs. I wonder if there will be a write up on it later.

Edit: Mine were working until I flashed my brights on and the fuse blew. Now my DRL's wont turn on. I replaced the 20amp fuse and then I accidentally flashed my brights on again while driving the other night and it blew again. Any suggestions?

This is exactly what I've been looking for. I, too, have the blazer hid fogs and wanted this ability so I wouldn't have to power them down when switching my highs on & off. It's a longevity issue.
Thanks for an awesome diy! The other writeups for this all have drawbacks but I see none to this one. Thanks again. |

Finally decided to tackle this today. It worked! Sort of. When I turn on my parking light switch the HVAC lights and clock flicker. Interesting.
And the light on the fog light switch doesn't work. I used the wire clamps to connect into the other wires. I did not strip the plastic off the new wire. Any ideas what might have happened? Last edited by SubieMonte; 05-26-2012 at 10:30 PM. |

i followed the instructions exactly but my foglights are not independent, they require the parking lights to be on. other than that everything works. is there any way for me to now get the foglights to run by themselves, without any other exterior lighting?
i have a 2006 2.5i thanks |
