Foglights On With High Beams

Ironman24 · May 27, 2017

So do you guys take the diodes out when you go to the dealer for service? Just wondering if I should pull it out before I go in for my free oil change. No reason for them to look under the dash but you never know. What does everyone do?

I haven't taken any of my diodes out, yet.

I didn't have a spare diode laying around that would fit, mine had some fat leads on it. So, I used an LED, now I have a soft green glow at my knees when my fogs and high beams are on.

The flat spot on the LED corresponds to the silver band on the diode

That has to be my issue. I was pushing in, but maybe it just isn't setting correct. I'll try again this weekend.

Got it to work. Side note, there is a horn wire in that harness and if you tap it instead of fogs, your horn will honk when you put on your high beams!

Anyone have some diodes they want to send me? Want to do this as last night I was driving back from the ER and the fogs would have been nice. Thanks!

Radio Shack has them on sale, $0.78/ea. Bought mine, 2-pack for $4, had to drive 45 miles to nearest one, but was worth it. RS website is showing the 2, 3 and 4 packs for $0.78 as well.

Did this mod tonight and was a pain in the ass then got them to stick. After the Cargo/Reverse was done the high beams and fog was a piece of cake!

Had my oil changed and all Tuesday (yesterday), they didn't say anything to me about the diodes.

How positive of a feel does your setup feel when you insert your diode? I did mine last night... pushed rather hard with needle nose pliers, and it didn't work at first when I tested it... pushed even harder until the diode "arms" bent... tested it, and it worked. Nothing ever did seem to click in past the connector or anything, so I don't necessarily have full confidence that it won't vibrate back out and stop working. Any tips?
