Do OEM fogs only turn on with headlights on?

I'm trying to purchase a pair of fog lights and it come with the OEM signal/light/fog switch. I'm wondering if the OEM fog lights only turn on with the headlights, or can i have the fog running without the headlights running?

I tried to search it up, but all i got was a bunch of instructions on how to install fogs. I would really appreciate if someone can show me some light on this.

Thanks in advance.

If you install the stalk that comes with the fog lights, yes it only works with headlights. However, fogs lights can be rewired by a different cirucit, and make it the way u want..

After allot of research i noticed allot of people, like yourself, say that 02-04 Altis can have their fogs on without the use of the headlights (for some reason the base model was excluded, i don't know why). But then why does tWeEzY up there have to have his parking lights on when he has an 03? :confused: :banghead:

@tWeEzY
-Do you have the base model?
-Are those OEM fogs with the OEM switch? Or OEM fogs at all?
-If they are the OEM fogs, with the non fog light stalk, how did you re-wire it to have it turn on with your parking lights? and even if they aren't OEM fogs, how did you re-wire it? (If you did any re-wireing at all) :confused:

Besides the fog lights, where did you get that lip from? and what is your suspension setup? Basically how much did you drop it?

@Tigerlui
I see you have the 05-06 model, just in case the situation is that the 02-04 and 05-06 stalk isn't different, how did you do the rewiring, if you did any rewiring at all? Instruction?

Thanks again

with the oem headlight/fog light set up the parking lights are in the same circuit. I use my fog lights for my DRL's and the parking lights are always on. Its kind of an aggressive look anyway

My 02 SE came with fog lights and, using the light stalk, I can turn the fogs on without the headlights being on but the parking lights also light up with the fog lights.
I think the 05-06 are wired so that the headlights come on with the fog lights.

^^You're wrong. The 02-04 work without the headlights on. The 05-2012 have to have headlights on for foglights to be on.

i don't know what setup to do :banghead:
OEM fogs, OEM switch?
OEM fogs, aftermarket switch?
Aftermarket fogs, aftermarket switch?
:banghead:

Does anyone here, who have the OEM fog stalk, have the auto headlight setting on the stalk to? everywhere i look, all i find is the fog stalk with non auto lights. If it exists can i get a heads up :confused2

I have auto lights and fogs as well

Thanks for the info guys. I guess i'm going to go aftermarket/aftermarket, mainly because i can't afford a new stalk and it is almost impossible to find a stalk that has the fog and auto headlights used.
Now I have to look for instructions on how to put on aftermarket fogs :banghead:
