Default Angel eye question...could use a little help for a clean install. I'm trying to figure>>

out how I want to install my HNConcept angel eyes. With the HNConcept ones, following his instructions, you have to have the parking lights on to have the angel eyes come on - and I don't like that. I want them to be able to come on separately. So I wanted to look at Jeff Bipes' instructions (if anyone has them) because I think he added an extra switch. But my ultimate question is:
-Is there a way to turn on the angel eyes BY THEMSELVES, WITHOUT adding a separate switch? I'd like to just use the regular headlight switch.
-Is there a way to turn on the foglights WITHOUT the parking lights? This way, I could use the foglight wires and just take the foglight bulbs out (I never use them).
-Does anyone have Jeff's instructions that I can look at?
-Any other ideas? I'm open for suggestions!
Thanks everyone!

Default Yes.

Look here for the foglight mod:

As for a separate switch, I put in the Euro headlight leveling switch which goes in the dash next to the dimmer switch. The process is very involved, but looks better than stock (in my opinion). I haven't posted the finished pics yet... I will try to get some up tonight.

The pre-work is linked here<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/mcphill/audi_stuff/lighting_systems/mystery_project/">Pre-Work</a></li></ul>

Default That was quick. I've got a couple questions.>>

I remember looking at that album when that was your mystery project and I asked if you'd ever make more than one (then I looked at the process and understood why you said no). haha. That is very clean, I like it!
The fog-light mod: that mod allows for the foglights to come on with the parking lights on, right? Is it possible for the foglights to come on by themselves? without anything else being on? That's what I want to accomplish somehow. Can this be done? (I am across the country from my car or else I'd look at it myself, sorry.) You seem to have pretty thorough knowledge of the switch though.

Default In order to turn on the fogs, you need to pull the switch. As far as I know, in order to pull the

switch, you need to rotate at least one position...

Default Ok,crap! Why did Audi do it that way. I'll have to look at it when I get home. Thanks>>

for your help! I wonder why they made it that way...and I wonder more if it can be changed! I'll at least have to figure out how to install an extra switch....I'm looking for Jeff's instructions. Have 'em?

Default I just wanted to see his wiring for how he wired in the extra switch. I know>>

its not that hard, but I'm electrically stupid sometimes and wanted to look at them. I'm sure I can figure it out though.

Default This is the switch that Jeff provided with the kit. Do you want mine?
