Fog Lights as DRL mod, need help locating ignition relay and etc..

[panameras]

I'm trying to do this "Fog lights as DRL" mod which I found on another forum: http://986forum.com/...ing-lights.html

http://anti-blingdiy.blogspot.com.au/

According to the author, I need to tap fuse "A7" with the purple relay shown in the picture below,

Anti-bling: DRL+2

However my relay arrangement seems to be different to the picture in anti-bling's blog,

Mine:

Purple replay missing.

I suspect this might be due to model differences between Australia and the U.S. However. Australian spec Boxster should be the same as Europe (or ROW?), is this correct?

How do I find out which relay of my Australian model 986 is equivalent to the purple relay of the U.S. model?

Appreciate any help

:cheers:

Problem still the same though, my fog relay is missing! It's the #12 relay in the link.

The relay should be a standard DIN relay. Do you have factory foglights on your vehicle?

Yes the same factory foglights like on every 986s. What do you mean by standard DIN relay? Thanks

So does anyone know the fog relay location of non-US Boxster?

Thanks

According to the schematic (MY00 RoW Boxster) only the US, Canada, and Japan got the fog light cutoff relay.

I think the RoW cars have fog lights that can be turned on anytime (without the headlights) whereas US, Canada, and Japan laws require then to only be used with the headlights.

Can you confirm that?

The fog lights (front and rear) can be turned on with the parking lights (ROW) Loren!

Thanks for the info, yes like RFM said fog lights can be switched on with parking (city) lights. I didn't realise it's a different case for the US cars.

Any tips on which fuse to jump in order to have the fog lights on with ignition?

Thanks.

I think you can use the same A7 fuse (for fog lights) but I think it best to put a relay in between the fuse and the fog lights.
