I did not add a jumper wire between 3 and 4. it is an internal connection within the switch, so i can't remove it. something to do with how the 37 switch controled high beam on only one headlight vs both. country vs city lights...something like that. nothing I can do about that jumper internally.

so i think my only option is to do as i have wired it up.

thinking about it, since i haven't used the headlights much yet, I think I was pulling the headlight switch all the way out to 4 anyways instead of trying to find number 3 position. it was easier to just pull till it stopped. come to think of it...i dont think i even tried using number 2 position just for parking lights. it was either headlights on or nothing. just pull the switch knob out till it stopped and i was done.

i do agree and can see how your wiring would work with no jumper between 3 and 4.

so with that in mind. it would be easier to add the toggle low/off/high switch for the fogs under the dash. this way i could again do it like a modern car that has a seperate switch for turning on the fogs, just i'm adding low and high capability to the fogs intead of just on and off.

pull to number 4 on the headlight switch. use the dimmer on the floor for low/high on headlights. leave the fog toggle off until needed and toggle to whichever beam i need at the time to see better past the normal high beam headlights. i can even aim the fogs to cover more surface area in front of the car that the normal headlights don't cover.

these lights will be used very rarely anyways and mostly in low beam i'm sure. just fun to have the option. They are more for additional lighting in very dark areas vs a normal "fog light". since foglights usually can operate seperately from the headlights and can come on with the running lights only. these wont be like that, but more to help me see at night in very dark areas. for fog...i'll end up just using the normal running or headlights and like rain...i hope this car sees very little fog.


i only ever used the added lights on my truck when it was a really dark country road or i was trying to read some street sign ahead. (dont see too well at night since lasik surgery)

another DMV...DOT thing. i have E-code beams anyways, so i'm already not correct. that being the case...these e-code lights are insane, especially with this new wiring harness. i think i posted a picture of the headlights on low and high somewhere on here.
