just finished rewiring my fogs.
they are now on when ever the ignition is on, regardless of the turn stalk position.
i connected the brown wire to the red/white wire as outlined by Omicron, then grounded the green/black wire .

Nice DIY! However, is there anyway to rewire them like you guys had it with the fogs coming on whenever the stock switch is turned, but instead of coming on with the ACC, switching it so it turns on WHENEVER I turn the switch? (Key or no key in).

Someone please help me on this. I must have missed something. I read through this whole thread and could seem to fine an answer. I follow instruction and want to wire my fog light as a DRL when the key is in ACC position - connect the small brown wire going to the fog relay to a small white/red wire on the ACC relay. When the key is on ACC or engine on, my Head light and High beem is on but no fog light what so ever!!! I have 05 GT live in US.

Nevermind... I found the post #214 by Stealth which lead me to a search for "Canadian fog light rewire" and I found all the info I needed. It works now.
One needs to do the OMICRON method + STEALTH method to make it work for Canadian cars.
I also cleaned the air cabin filters too while I was at it hehehehe.
You actually don't need to remove the glovebox to access the DRL module connector. It's within reach if you look under the footwell of the passenger side as I realized. When I removed the glove box, there is a BLACK BOX MODULE in front of the DRL. To gain access to the DRL, one would actually have to remove the black module first if you were going through the glovebox. I looked underneath, and realized that the DRL module connectors are accessible just from the bottom. No need to remove glove box.
This maybe only applicable to Canadian models? I'm not sure what that black box module is.

Did mine just now. Took a few more than most as I was hooking the wrong end of the brown wire up

For some reason, my fog light is off some times ago i did not aware. I check the fuse (15 a) and it is still ok. To be safe, I return the wiring to original and the fog light still off, any idea? thanks
