Default Just Foglight Option?

Hey everyone, was wondering if there is something I can do to just run the fog's during the day time with the first click without having the side marker lights,tail lights, and license plate light's come on? I have a minor case of condensation in both fog lights and was hoping that running just the fogs and with the NY heat hopefully it will go away. Is there a fuse that just needs to be pulled or is it complicated? If it's complicated then I wont even bother.. going to have to seal them up hopefully next week if it doesn't go away. Thanks in advance!

BlackJag, unfortunately, short of modifying the headlight switch or installing a jumper wire, there is no way to cause the fog lights to come on without the marker lights. Now, if you want to know how to make the lights come on, it wouldn't be that hard. You would just need to make sure you pull the wire when you turn the car off.

The other option is to simply remove the light bulb from the fog lights and set the light bulb off to the side with the bulb base off to the side. This will allow air to get into the housing and dry it out a lot quicker. The only thing that you have to watch for then is that you don't go driving when it is raining. Then you are starting from square 1 again.
