yep, normal.

You will also notice that when your high-beams are on, you won't get foglight operation either.

Just kidding, but this is what I wrote sometime ago. Use if you like, or search for any other methods if mine does not fit what you need.

Do I get the impression that you are not a fan of tinting.

Tint, tinting, tinted ... ... ... all OK.

Tints ... ... ... stupid, wrong, and improper.

The word TINT is like the word DEER. One deer. Tint your car. Two deer. Tint our cars. Window tint on one window, window tint on 3 windows. No fcukin S in tint!

You can internet pistol whip me all you want, but here is my reasoning: (Not really looking to pick an internet fight lol)

I got tints so that the heat / sun doesn't bake the crap out of everything in the car, as well as provide some privacy in my vehicle from random people driving by and looking in.
However, since I tend to leave the AC off and just drive around with windows open, the point has become moot. Yes, I know our windows already have the UV blocking stuff and slight tinge as well.
Okay, bring on the pistol whipping. My body is ready... I think lol..

EDIT: OH. Okay, I used it wrong. Never actually thought about that before, but I'll change it.

just cuz i live around where a bunch of home boys do it to there car and i want mine to stand out from the rest. ok btw is there a link to where i can re-wire my fogs to run with the running lights? no i dont want to re-wire them to where i can put them on whenever i want. i want them to have them on when i either run the running lights or the low beams. if someone could point me in the right direction i would be thankful.

EDIT: so i looked at my haynes manual and i think i have found out how to get the fogs to turn on with the parking lights. i am goin to try to get it to work right tomorrow and i will let you all know what i have found
