Mine Has the beep, but my Subaru had the auto off lights, and I really got used to having it that way.

There was a recent thread where someone's hearing impaired spouse kept leaving the lights on and killing the battery. That got me thinking about this mod, and it turned out to be pretty simple.

My 89 Camry LE had this option as well. :P

I was wondering if I added the fog lights with the OEM fog light stalk if this would still work for me or will I have additional steps other then what was listed above?

Thanks for the help Scott!

Yes it will as the fog lights only come on with the head lights on or park lights . when useing the factory stalk .

Exactly. I have fogs installed as well, and as 1NZ mentioned they do turn off with the key as well as the headlights.

Thanks CTScott! I'll have to do this when I install my fog lights next month. I'll also be installing that switch that allows you to control your windows with an OEM or aftermarket alarm.
