tiaquessa Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 When I bought my 01 Expedition, I was able to make a jumper to keep the foglights on when the high beams were on. Does anyone know how to, or where I can find out how do this on the Edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how to, or where I can find out how do this on the Edge? Seems like a waste of time to me (besides being illegal). Why do you need fog lights and high beams?

Abrannan19 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I dont think its a waste of time..I know it can be done..I am just not sure how to do it..gotta find the signal that is inline with the high beams. Maybe he wants to see far away and whats right infront of him on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiaquessa Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I like the way it looks. And, it keeps the area in front of the car lit when the high beams are on. Try turning the foglights on and off when your driving down a rural road in the dark. You'll see a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll see a big difference. this is actually a good point. when I first read the title of this thread, I was like "huh?" and thought, what's the point of that. but now that I read this, it makes total sense. hopefully someone figures it out and posts it here. probably the one thing I'm not that good with is electrical... but if it's simple enough by way of step-by-step instructions adding a wiring harness I can do it. would probably be worth the trouble.

SMACKyaONdaFACE Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I guess the question needs to be changed, cuz so far no one seems to know how to do that. How about this rather, does anyone have the electrical diagram for the lightning system for the EDGE equipped with foglights??? Once we get a hold of that, we can figure it out fairly easily. So please...if you're asking anyone about it, ask them if they have access to the schematic of the electrical system in the EDGE... that simplyfies the work on how to do the job because it will give us the colours of all the wires and locations of relays involved. PM if anyone has it or finds it, i can figure it out myself for us all once I get my hands on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I could get you that, but seeing as I'm just a stupid mechanic I just can't figure out how to look it up. Sorry I can't help you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

securinu Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 I have the diagrams , i will look today and post back what to do to make it work. I did this in my Durango and will do it in my edge as well. i will be @ work in a couple of hours and will look at it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weasel Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Any fresh news on that matter? Would adding a relay ( latching the highbeams and foglights ) cause any problems with the automatic headlights ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weasel Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Any updates on this ? I am hoping that it is as simple as cutting one wire ( like in my Jetta ) Does anyone have wiring diagrams ( related to the high beam switch & headlight switch ? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awake33 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Did you find the diagrams? If you did and can't figure it out could you post them and let one of us mark up the drawing? I'd be interested in doing this as well, I'm feeling lazy on this one though, so my contribution will be the scans. :stats: Let me know if you, or anybody else for that matter, needs other diagrams. Also, if anyone could lend a hand in determining how to connect the AUX outputs of an aftermarket alarm to turn on the heated seats, that would be great! I have not sat down to look yet, but its why I bought the shop manual. Edge_Wiring_Diagrams.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weasel Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Well I was looking at my own copy of the wiring diagrams and I cannot see a real elegant way to do it. The best way I could figure it out would be to use the high beam power as a signal to power a relay to turn on the for lights. I'd guess a diode would be necessary to prevent any backfeeding to the SJB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman33 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 awake33, From the schematics you supplied, if you wish to have the Fog Lights ON all of the time, you need to ground the Fog Light wire from the Master Light Switch. By grounding the Fog Light Wire, as soon as the key switch is in the ACC position, the Fog Lights will go ON. On the other hand, if you wish to have control over this - regardless of the Master Light Switch position (i.e. Fog's ON), you can simply install a switch that will "cut" the ground off and hide the switch under the dash or anywhere you want. By doing so (installing this "cut off" switch) and leaving it in the "OFF" position, then the Master Light Switch will have control over the Fog's...In other words, once you use the High Beams, the Fog's will go off.

bzt43t Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 So has anyone found out how to keep the fogs lights on when high beams are turned on? Many years have passed since the previous post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07CRUSH Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) I found this on a Ranger forum it work on the ranger http://www.ranger-forums.com/f43/how-04-fog-light-mod-8283/ It might give you some insight on how to copy it for the Edge Edited February 19, 2010 by 07CRUSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travo Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) I actually did this when I had a ranger. The link posted above works, but isn't the way I did it. Just find your fog light relay, and bend back or break off the tip that cuts the fogs when the high beams are engaged.. I couldn't tell you which tip it is on the edge but relays are cheap and you could do some experimenting. I had mine that way for 5+ years and had no problems out of it.

fishx65 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Anyone figure this one out yet? Found this for F150's but have not had time to look at the Edge's wiring diagram yet. http://www.landstromsfoundry.com/html/tech-foglights.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWS Alpine Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I would highly advise against doing this! You may think your lights are brighter but fog lights with highbeams is worse. You lose a lot of your ability to see down the road. Your eyes adjust for the brighter light in the foreground. There is a reason why many engineers have spent countless hours designing projectors with foreground limiting shields. You want the light to be bright down the road and not in front of you.
