Fog lights and Headlights

[Kenny]

Seached the forum and couldn't see this one. Is it possible to have the fog lights on and the headlights on bright? Do I need a programmer to change it?

I live in deer country and every bit of light helps.

In the "old" days, you could easily rewire the lights to do this. However, on today's modern CAN-BUS wiring it is not advised to do this.

So, the only option you have is to use a programmer.

I drive about 15 miles each way of highway and about 5 unlit frontage road with plenty deer 4x a week for work. Daylight when I head in, dark usually when I head home. For those last 5 miles the led headlights and fogs have been helpful. More than either is driving slower at night. As most, I want to get the hell home when it’s time to come home, but I really do not want to hit any kind of animal especially a deer. If I had to drive a lot in the dark in deer country I would probably consider a or a few light bars vs. trying to hack the cpu. I like having a factory warranty and do not like having to explain why x, y, or z is broken and its not because I paid to have some coding changed. If you can find a programmer that will do the work for less than a bar or two and that makes you happy = go for it!!! It’s your Jeep (bumpers, grill, hood, etc.) that might take a hit. Address the deer threat to your insurance claims as you see fit. Just wanted to drop the light bar option as a consideration for ya

On our 18 JL S I went with the HIDprojector headlights and the Diode Dynamics LED fog lights...I can see very well at night...I live in prime deer country...

On most of our previous vehicles I had the fog lights work with the hi-beams, but with the newer technology I cannot get this accomplished...

@larrynjean

You can in fact accomplish ......... but it will cost you the $ amount of the TazerJL. Yes, the programmer can enable fog lights on with brights.

The Tazer JL can also disable ESS, disable auto park and more.

During deer season I drop travel speed 20 mph - but it still scares me when they surprise me on the side of the road - I’ll look for a light bar

Time to get Tazer

Time to get Tazer

@Kenny

Yes, the Tazer JL will do it for you. Just know the Tazer JL Lite cannot enable fogs with brights.... unless you pay the $125 to upgrade the Tazer JL Lite to full Tazer JL abilities.

Timing right?! Tonight on my way home, right where it starts to get dark... two younger ones decided to cross the road right in front of me. I think they are beautiful animals and do not ever want to hit one, luckily I was only going about 25 when I saw the first one.. hell, guess i need to take my own advice and get some bars lol! - didn’t hit either forgot that part

Get yourself a Tazer. It’s one of the best products out there for your Jeep.

The Superchips flashcal does this as well.

The Superchips flashcal does this as well.

Yes, it does. It really is a shame though, that Super Chips can't get the Flashcal to disable ESS and Auto park.

Indeed, the price for a Flashcal is lower then for the Tazer JL, but if the Flashcal programmer just can't get all the jobs done...

Reality is, right now.... as of 8/31/18..... the Flashcal pales in comparison to the Tazer JL.
