How do you switch the day time running lights from the headlights to your fog lights?

You might have too wire them separately. A small switch would be best. But you can wire the driving lights in to the fog lights.. Use a separate fuse or an inline fuse so you don't over heat the stock wiring!! Also have an electrical test light, they are very handy when finding hot wires:) But id suggest just using a switch with 14 gauge wiring or thicker.. Hope this helps

Check the switch in the column. You will need a wiring diagram & test light. You have 2 diff, wires that are "supposed" to be hot depending on wether you go up or down with stem. If they are not it's the switch, or something else with those circuits like a bad ground.
