2001 Outback LL Bean foglights/headlights issue

Has anyone figured out how to have the foglights in an Outback on with the parking lights only and no headlights?

I was able to have my foglights on without headlights in my old '92 Pontiac Grand Am; it seems that all American cars (GM,Ford,Dodge, and many others) are wired with this light combination option available; except for the American designed Subarus.

I have already 'pulled the plug' on the DRL lights.

and btw, no trolls please. I have seen trolls with non-helpful insulting comments about issues like these.

Thank you.

It's common on the JDM GT Legacy (I have it on my 02 and it was on my

90) but I haven't been able to lay my hands on a circuit diagram yet.

I have the schematic for the '95 Legacy. I have just added the OEM Fog Lights for the car and it appears that a Blue wire with a yellow tracer is attached at a single wire connector from the headlight circuit. This wire is hot when the headlights are on. That allows power to go to the fog lamp relay. That is what allows you to only have the fog lights on with headlights. IF you can locate this wire on your car and move it to the parking light power source (one of the parking lamps), then I suspect that you could make it work. BUT then you would only have the capability to run the fog lamps if the parking lights were on. SO if you drive with the parking lamps on, you are all set. Another possibility would be to put a single pole-double throw toggle switch so that you could select where and when you wanted the power to come from. One side would come from Headlamps and the other from parking lamps. Those power feeds could then be directed to the fog lamps relay coil.

THAT is how it is on a 95. Not sure about your 01, but maybe that gives you some ideas/options.

Good Luck Bill
