Default fog light with high beams

I bought the correctional spliters from TRS to make my fogs stay on with high beams. Just wondering if anyone has installed these before? Can someone help me with a how to guide? I have projector retro fits installed already aswell.

Howdy!

Can you be more specific? That is purty well-written, so if you can point to what exactly is still not clear, perhaps we can help simplify. No guarantees though

I guess what plugs into what part sorta thing, I would assume "high beam out put" would plug into the fog light, but what part plugs into factory harness ? and being a h-13 would I plug in to this line after the ballast for the HID lights?


i normally have no issues with this stuff, but just not clicking. maybe once i actually have a look at the truck itself it will all come together.

The blue/black Y splitter isn't used. Starting from the orange/black Y splitter, the one with the mesh that covers the one-way diode, the 9006 male connector (the one with the pins) will plug into the harness plug that would normally go to the the high beam solenoid at the back of the headlight. The plain orange/black wires go to the high beam connector on the back of the headlights and the other will be used for the fog lights (the side with the diode). The orange/black splitter is connected to this. The male 9006 connector will plug into the OEM fog light connector and the other to the fogs.

This way, when in normal fog light mode, the fog is energized using the OEM power, and when in high beam mode, the fogs are energized by the high beam solenoid power, going thru the one-way diode.

I hope this makes sense.

If you got the foglite splitter version, this pic from the product page should help:

Odd that they say it's not available though: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/acc...l#.UxVQnz9dVog

Can this be done on a 13 with factory HIDs?

I was thinking of making my company logo "Flash me your high beams".
