H3 - H3 Fog Light Mod

So the H3's headlamp setup sucks. In most cases it seems you get better lighting with the low beams and the fog lamps vs the high-beams which kill the fog lights. This mod will will turn on the fog lamps with the hi-beams. NOTE: The dash switch will not control the fog lights when the...

PRIVATE For Sale / Trade Classifieds - Full Time Fog Lights Anyone? - Just curious, has anyone made it so that when you turn the lights on high beams, the fog lights stay on? It seems like I have more light available when the headlights are on low with the fogs on than when on high. Thanks for...

High beams - do you use them? - Hummer Forums - Enthusiast Forum for Hummer Owners

Hummer H3 - High beams - do you use them? - The low beams seem to illuminate way more with the combination of the fog lights. We hardly ever use the high beams now because they shut off. Just wondering if others feel the same. Also, has anyone changed out their bulbs for the better? If so what...

Try running a wire with a diode inline from one of the high beams to the fog light switch. And be sure that the switch is on the hot side and is not a ground return of sorts, since I'm without a schematic here.
And while you're at it, keep things heavy by using #12awg wire and a 20amp diode.

They are counterproductive for highway driving. You'd only want one or the other on. BUT... if you are looking for daylight at night, adding a couple of LED pods that output five times the light on a dedicated switch is better.

Agreed, but not the OP's question.
Speaking of the OP and like so many others, they appear on the forums with a question and for then not seen or heard from again, even though someone might have spent some time on it, for them.

Telling the OP that running a random diode without an attached wiring diagram will be more damaging. To minimize cutting and splicing factory wiring harness, run a set of LED pods for minimal cost and damage to factory components.

I didn't suggest or condone that he do such without his asking. As for the practice of such, if warranted and like for anything else, if it's not in your realm of professionality, then find someone other.
I wasn't necessarily saying that he had to personally do the work anyway, so not about to go in to a lot of detail, unless he came back with some interest in doing so. I mean if I said you required an engine rebuild, that wouldn't automatically say that you had to do it yourself.
Anyway, no biggie, so.....Peace!

Agree to disagree.

Agree to disagree.

Of course and I wouldn't be fooling with changing it, if for me, but then again, you wouldn't have to run your high beams and/or these aux. lights if you didn't want to.
