Something I absolutely love
Fog Lights

This is probably a stupid question. Is there a way you can have the parking lights and the fog lights on at the same time? I can do it on the X5 and my friend's Grand Cherokee does it, but I guess the ML's can't do that. If anyone knows if that is possible, please post.

you can if you wire in the foglights to the parking light circuit. I wouldnt say it is super easy....but it is doable, all though i dont really recommend it

On my '98, I installed Hellas on my grille guard, and wired them to the factory harness that used to supply the integral fogs before I swtiched to bi-xenons. They work through the dash switch when the parking lights are on (as long as ignition is on at least accessory position), Very easy. I don't know if this is different on later years.

yea, my hella 500s work with the parking lights on only. I would imagine this stayed the same on the new MLs.
