HOW TO: swapping IN fog switch to another headlight switch.

[pooleo8]

This how to is for you if you replace your headlight switch, currently have fogs, but the new switch does not.

First, remove the switch and proceed as pictured to remove the casing.

Once the casing is removed, you will need to remove the circuit board. There are no screws or mechanical fasteners. Simply (gently) pull the board off.

Fog switch next to NON-fog switch

Once the board is removed, remove the white plastic piece. It will just turn to the left and pull straight off.

USE CAUTION HERE!

There is a spring and copper plate on the switch. This is what makes contact to power the fogs.

Once removed, install it to your new switch. Reinstallation is reverse of removal.

Enjoy!

Good job man. I did this some time ago to a friends truck but never even thought to take pictures.

Awesome! I love pics of DIYs

When retrofitting units that didnt come with fogs, is the harness ready for it? Or would you have to wire it separately

I believe the harness is there. I have pulled 5 switches and all had the two large connectors, even if no factory fog.

Also, the switches are the same from the 99ish to 02ish sables. The front cover is different. But the internals are the same. This might be a good option for the auto head light function
