Haha...true that. Did you swap out the stock bulb for an LED? I am planning on doing that in the next couple of weeks.

I have not done that yet because I am not 100 % sure an LED bulb will be brighter than the stock bulb. The JDM fog light is already brighter than the LED tail lights. Of course if you make the switch, you will benefit from a faster on an off pulsation than the stock bulb.

That's what I'm going for. I think it'll actually work a bit better since it'll either be on or off...there won't be that dimness inbetween like with a dual filament bulb.

I would like to try this out too but I'm up in Canada so my car comes with the fog light factory installed. The switch is on the stalk with the headlights. Any idea where the best place is to tap into the wiring and place the module? :tiphat:

How does your light function now? You can just flip it on or off?

If you wanted it to blink like in the video, you'd have to get the module and then wire it between the taillight harness and the fog light. I have my module hidden away inside the trunk behind the panels.

Yes it's an on off switch that resets to off when the car is turned off. I guess I would have to intercept the fog light wiring and tie it through the module to the brake light. The factory switch would then do nothing. I think I'll search for a wiring diagram just to see what's what.

I would think you should be able to tie the module directly into the fog light...you just have to make sure you turn it to the "on" position everytime you get in your car.
