Fog Lights on

[Essex4x4]

Okay so i have a question, i am new to this forum and i would like it if any one could tell me if this is possible. I have an 06 ex and when i turn the brights on the fogs turn off, how do i over ride this so that i can turn the fogs on and the brights. I simply want an easy out to get more light in the front of my ex. I don't have a light bar or a bull bar so offroad lights are currently not an option.

Anyone out there know how to do this mod or know where i can get a light bar for cheap?

Wire the fog lights to an illuminated switch on the dash. If you are using HID bulbs you might consider adding a switched relay as well for a higher current connection.

^^ Yep, read that thread bill posted. Now you just need to figure out where your fog light fuses are and then your done.

idk if the electrical systems are any different on the 06 as opposed to older explorers but u could always wire an aftermarket switch as was suggested earlier in this thread... i did an xlt bumper swap on my xls and had to wire a switch and relay for my lights to work... theyre 9145s and work the same as H3s, so a standard switch works the same with it... heres mine

(lower green switch lights the lower fogs)

Just be careful. Here in CA you can only have 4 beams on at a time. On the road that is.
