    Pennsylvania Vehicle Lighting Codes

    First I want to make sure you know that I am not arguing at all. I will try your suggestion this weekend if I can get through the troubles our son is causing. I snapped 2 pictures in the front camera. I never really noticed before the garage door being lit up so much with just the fogs because...

    Probably has something to do with the fact of how close front of the truck is to the wall. These are SAE fogs, aimed appropriately and with a very distinct cutoff. But now I'm scratching my head thinking about your question.

    As bright as the OEM halo parking lights are the headlights may not have been on.

    Yellow light is DD SAE max yellow SS3 fogs. This was 1st go around wiring with the front fogs as the switched 12v power source for the rear fog. So headlights and front fogs are on in the picture.

    130w bulbs for aux lights

    Are these what you are talking about? http://images.diodedynamics.com/docs/datasheets/ss3_pod/SS3_Max_White_Standard_Datasheet.pdf If so I have no doubt that you as someone who has a strong knowledge of lighting can look at that and see what you need to know. Me, not so much, I see a foreign...

    130w bulbs for aux lights

    First of all I understand the OPs reluctance to LED lights if we are talking about cheap amazon/fleabay lights. It has already been mentioned but a great solution is Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro selective yellow lights which use a 4000k emitter and swap the yellow lens for the clear one. It has also...

    Would this make a good rear fog light?

    Using the parking lights works as intended. Thank you for all the help and suggestions. I really didn't want to track down and solder the cap and diode so I am glad the parking light circuit works. I already had a jumper plug in the headlight harness for the raptor grill lights so I didn't...

    Would this make a good rear fog light?

    No, just crap in general. Tired and cranky today.

    Would this make a good rear fog light?

    For a quick and dirty check I changed the supply power to the relay to a cigarette lighter plug. Works as it's supposed to. Now the real question is will the parking light circuit going to be any better since all the lights on the truck are BCM controlled LEDs? Crap crap crap.

    Would this make a good rear fog light?

    thank you for that, the OR does indeed make a difference. I already have a headlight harness splitter that has unused taps for the parking lights. May try that later. Always appreciate your help. If this was the case wouldn't it also be causing a problem when the whole vehicle is powered up...

    Would this make a good rear fog light?

    I am try to wire them up like they would come from the factory. Rear fogs according to the ECE regulations cannot be switched on without the front fog lights being on.

    Would this make a good rear fog light?

    This is a momentary switch with a latching relay. It is working as designed until I start the truck. Power to the relay is one of the front fog lights. This way the rear can never be on if the front isn't. So when I go from vehicle powered but engine not on all is well. When I go to start the...

    Would this make a good rear fog light?

    Thought it might be a bad ground connection so I redid it, no change. I can shake all the connections in the harness and it doesn't shut off when the engine is off so I'm guessing all my junctions are good. I'm really at a loss with this. Probably a stupid question but is it a problem to have...

    Would this make a good rear fog light?

    Thank you. It was a lot of work, especially trying to get the wires into the cabin. Unfortunately I'm not done, have some trouble shooting to do. Works perfectly when acc power is on, shuts off almost instantly as soon as you start the engine.
