question: is there a Fogs as DRL mod for '13 g37x sedan ?
Apologies that I'm asking before doing an exhaustive search before asking:
In the 3rd generation Miata world (esp. early years) had a mod that allowed the fogs to be used like DRLs, meaning they come on w/o the headlights being on. If you dig into the big fuse box there are the relay panels, so they splice the fog lights into the HVAC system. So it becomes part of the group of components that become live in the accessory stage of the ignition, and if you leave the fog light switch on, they'll come on automatically regardless of where the headlight switch is set.
There may have been or a later year or Canadian module or something that's cleaner than the heatshrink splice that guys like me did. (I'll try to post link if there's interest)
Is there something similar I could do to my 2013 sedan?
Thanks for any help.

Pull fog relay, open it, solder the relay into the closed position. No need to splice.
