I think there's already a DIY for this

Edit: The write up is on AW http://www.audiworld.com/tech/ext11.shtml

If there is cool i wont do a write up, i just installed a wire from 15 power to #15 and #17 pin on the fog light control module ( big relay)

[SLC_S4]

Are those HID fogs?

[AudiSportB5S4]

I recently did this, well a buddy did for me. he pulled out the fog light module from behind the glove compartment and soldered a few things and snipped a few pins. I think it's the best to have control of the foglights, and it looks sick.

[AudiTechS4]

yes they are hid fogs

[SLC_S4]

Looks good. How difficult was the conversion?

[rusky]

Yeah, any good write up on the HID fogs?

I think this may be what I did? But instead of ign power I used parking light tap from the glovebox light. Both wires only draw like .1 A or something.. works

Man, we need step by step instructions with pics please!!! That write up has no pics. Pretty sweet deal though.

[Stockblacka6]

write up with pics would be appreciated. Any info on the HID fogs? thanks

[tike0rz]

Yes I wanna do this! Thanks!

[Go_S4]

Never thought of doing this, a write up with pics would be nice...

[AudiTechS4]

I'll do the write up tomorrow morning
its very easy.
remove the glove box .
there is a big relay behind it the relay number is 600(on the back of the relay)
take relay out and look at the socket side.
pin 15 and 17 (both yellow wires) clip from the back of the socket and give them a power source.
I used ignition power,under driver side dash.
1st post of the 5 for power.

[Allaidback]

so you just hook up both yellow wires to ign power source?

[Blake260]

there is a better way...I did it by the book and soldiered a wire to connect the 1,2,5 posts (IIRC) on the board inside the box, then clipped some pins off.

[AudiTechS4]

why is opening the box and soldering any better? the 2 yellow wires going into the box are the signal wires from the headlight switch .Just give the ignition power and your all set

true...so you do just hook both yellow wires to the same power source?

that's the way i did it in both of my S4s. it's really easy but getting the box back in is a bitch

[coniac]

Awesome, Thanks!!

I was just thinking of doin this the other day..

I also wanted to do a HID conversion but I was
A. Worried that it would be too bright
B. Don't know what color on the spectrum the factory HID bulbs are, I would want them to be the same..

[Blake260]

maddd bright....I get falshed quite often with 3000K fogs (pointed straight at the ground.)
