Ok guys, I have heard a great deal of discussion on activating the front fog lights (built-in the headlight housing) via the Stealership.
The fog lights are not activated in all States because of their height restrictions so this may apply to you. Here is Colorado, I am in the same boat as most of you are. However, I have found a way to activate them without the Stealership's help and paying at least $49.00 for the procedure!!!
Here goes: The procedure I have here is for reference and informational puposes only. If you mess up your system because of unforseen reasons, DO NOT BLAME ME! This activation procedure worked fo me and it might NOT work for you.
1) Uncover your Fuse Box in the Engine compartment.
2) Looking at the Fuse Box from the Driver's fender, pull out the two relays (k29 AND k30) for the rear AND front fog lights. See picture 1.
3) Lay both relays on your work table with the "HELLA" words facing you. See picture 2.
4) Cut a piece of wire about 4 inches long and solder each end to the terminal on the top left most side. Make sure no wire strands are touching the other relay terminals. See picture 3.
5) Insert relays back in the fuse box with the wires attaching them together. See picture 4.
6) After installing H3 bulbs in the foglight housing (headlight unit) turn on Aux switch; Voila! Front Fog lights are on. See picture 5.
Just a quick thing...If you liked this mod and you think this is very helpful to you by saving you money, maybe I can ask a favor...I need a navigation disc for Colorado, or the set (even just a copy, 2004.1 edition). I bought my ML used and it did not come with any. We just moved here and we need to find our way around. I will even pay for shipping via PayPal. Thanks...
