You are correct. For vehicles like yours with DRL's, the complete fog light mod is (2) parts.

Part 1, like you did, allows you to turn the fog lights on exactly as you describe- in any configuration EXCEPT with high beams.

If you do one of the Part 2 options, that allows the fogs to stay on when you flip to high beams. Basically, Part 2 provides the fog relay coil with a +12V source that stays hot even with the high beam on.

The "How-to" link for the fog light mod WITH DRL in this forum should work. There is an explanation of how the mod works buried in all the text and photos.

I have read about some of the issues people have encountered with the NON-DRL fog light mod. As it is documented, the mod instructs you to get the +12V for the fog relay coil off the dash illumination circuit, to which the rheostat for adjusting the intensity of the dash lights is connected. I am not sure what is going on there, other than to tell people who are experiencing that trouble to find a different +12V source.

It seems to me that there was a different and easier fog light mod. I remeber when I did mine there was only one wire to splice and ground. I though it was the green/black one.

My fog lights can be switched on with no parking lights or with parking lights or with headlights. The dimmer dial has no affect on the no matter what. and the light switch light is on no matter if the lights are on or off.

Are there two differnt mods, Also I have the DRL unpluged.
