Thanks man! It sounds like the safest way will be using two relays. Do you mind posting up a diagram using two relays?

Thanks!

Ok here is the diagram for 2 relays, much safer, also make sure to fuse the wire directly to the battery.




sorry for my ghetto diagrams lol

let me know if you have anymore questions!

Thanks dude! That diagram looks great! One real quick question...do I need to connect both relays to the same grounding point, or can I ground them independently of each other?

u can ground them independently if you want it doesnt matter, it would just be easier to ground them together, but it honestly does not matter.

Sup dude? Well I finally got around to wiring up my fog lights and stuff. I am having one issue though; They cut off when the low beams are turned on and stay off even if the high beams are on. I tried splicing into both wires of a high beam and when I connect to one wire they cut off with with the low beams, then back on with the high beams. Everything else works fine though. I've double checked all my connections and they are correct. These fogs are NOT for the S2k, but for my 95 accord.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Cris P.

hmmm, make sure to really double check your relays and make sure the correct prongs on the relay are on the correct wire. it should work with no problems. make sure your using the correct high beam wire and correct parking light wire.

I'm pretty sure I connected the relay to the positive wire of one of the high beams...but it's weird though as SOON as I turn on the low beams, the fogs cut off..and NOTHING is tapped into them....could the high/low beams be grounded to the same source or something? The low beams DO stay on when the high beams are on.
