Driving Lights

[jacob9582]

My driving lights on my 84 only come on when i have the main lights flipped up.

Has anyone modded this to allow them to be on with the headlights down? i really want to do this for the fact that it looks cool and it helps other people see you.

any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

I thought they were fog lights. I wrote the details of the mod I did to a magazine, long ago. It was a simple thing at the switch, but I'd have to do some digging to find it.

If you turn the switch to the parking lights postion, the driving lights should light without the headlamp assemblies rotating into position.

ok so i pulled out the headlight switch to the parking light position=1 click. parking lights went on, then i tried fliping the driving lights switch but got no lights. the switch appears to only click toward the right.

if i raise the main headlights the driving lights go on and off with the switch but as i said not with out the main lights flipped up.

If you cut the yellow wire at the fog switch and connect it to a + with key on, it will work with the fog switch.

I say with the key on so you don't forget to turn the lights off and kill your battery

That's how it works on my '85.

thanks ill try your method of cutting the wire. vette looks nice with the fogs on but sometimes toward dusk it will be nice to just flip the driving lights switch and have a little more light and be more visable to others as well.

thanks!

'84s must be different.
