2 Questions...

xjduke · 08-08-2004, 07:36 PM

1. Is it possible to hook up fog lights to your headlight brights, so that they come on with your high beams?

2. Does anyone here have the rustys flowmaster exhuast? How does it sound? And was it easy to install

Thanks ahead of time for any help

I'm sure you could figure out something for the lights easily enough. Just find the switch for the brights and go from there.
I have the Flowmaster exhaust from Rusty's. No complaints at all. I love how it sounds, it's holding up fine, and it was easy to put on. Only thing I might do different is get it welded on cuz the clamps tend to loosen, rust, and leak over time

watch yourself, its illegal to have fogs and brights on in some states. if you notice factory fogs turn off when you turn on the brights. if you buy a package kit with the fogs it should come with a swtich to use. i'd also be learly of splicing into the factory harness and not run a relay for the fogs.

hella instructions tell you to tap into the low beam wire leading to the bulb, so all you have to do is tap the highbeam. hes righ tho its illegal in most places to have anything extra on when highbeams are on.

To have the lights come on with your brights you need to wire your relay to the high beem leed. That way when the high beems are turned on they trigger the relay.

To answer your second question i dont have rustys system but i have a flowmaster 50 series which is what they include and i really like it.

imho...

nobody will ever be affected by your lights connected to come on with your high beams: here's why:

you have a brain and you turn off your high beams when you see that another car's approaching.

right?

I am setup with a set of hella500's wired in to come on with the high beams and a set of hella FF1000's wired totally independent/cancomeonanytimeiwantthemto. damn near perfect setup i think.

I have my IPF driving lights come on with my brights, its the best way to do it. i think if i get more lights i'd put another switch that would let me have them either controlled by my brigths or totally independantly. IMO its easier to just have them go through your brights cause when i have them on i want all the light i can get so all my lights are going to be on anyways. with fog lights it might be different and you might want those to be independently controlled.... i'm trying to come up with an easy way to have a switch on the back of the steering wheel, i think that would be [img]graemlins/pimp.gif[/img]
