Sorry for the repost, but a few AW members wanted me to send photos of my fog rewire using fuse taps, and it was easier to post here so more can benefit. I use the fogs as daytime running lights (I like the increased visibility) without putting extra hours on my xenons.

Many thanks to Richard Solomon for his Tech Article (link below) on this fog rewire. This was my first mod, and my first link to AudiWorld, to which I am now addicted! The ONLY difference in my post is that I am showing you a picture of the fuse taps before they are installed so you can see what you need to make.

First, remove the fuse in position 36 (fog lights) and locate position 27 which is live, but empty (heated steering wheel and rear wiper which are non-existent). Note: the white thingy in the inside of the fuse panel cover is a fuse removal tool. Saves the fingernails for you lady folks out there (April).


Next, make one of these using two fuse taps that you can get from just about any auto parts store. Note: <EDITED 10-14-04> EVEN THOUGH 15 AMP FUSES ARE SHOWN IN THE PICTURE, THE RIGHT ANGLE TAPS ARE ONLY RATED FOR 10 AMPS. DO NOT USE 15 AMP FUSES OR YOU WIL BURN THE WIRE!!!


Insert the fuse taps in position 27 (inverted/upside-down as pictured) and 36. Note: positions 35 and 43 are dead and useless.


Now you can use the fogs without your headlights. Note: as indicated by Richard's Tech Article, the fogs disable when you use high beams.
