    I'd like to turn on my foglights with perhaps just the parking lights on without turning on my headlights. Is there a way to do this in my Prius? i've done some searching, but not sucessful. :rolleyes:

    Move to Australia. I can put the fog lights on with just parking lights on.

    EVNUT has this mod ( Prius ) go to "MODS" then to "FOGLIGHT ONLY MODE."

    There is one here as well: The new 2004 Toyota Prius

    I did this on my 06 Tacoma, but it was much easier as the fuse box is located under the hood where I did a simple fuse mod. Wished it was that easy for the Prius. Good luck and report back! ;)

    Better not get caught with just the fogs on. It's illegal in North America (at least Canada and the US). I know several people who have been ticketed in B.C., Oregon, and California. SOME police know the law. ;)

    Illegal to have them on in the daytime? Or do you mean in lieu of headlights at night?

    I guess Beale meant using fog lights as headlights is illegal in some states. My intention is to use the fog lights on all the time during the day to act as DRL.

    I can wait to get this mod done soon.

    he means it's illegal to use them WITHOUT the headlights (day or night) in some states.

    which is kind of stupid because that's the point of foglights - to be used without the headlights blindling you and to illuminate underneath the fog.
