fog light wiring help

I want to wire my fog lights to run with my headlights with no switch while my headlights are on dim and go off while I put my headlights on bright. I have them wired that way right now with a 20amp fuse in the fog light wiring. Problem is that while I am driving the fog lights and headlights are on, but the lights will eventually cut out all together. Does anyone know the correct way to wire this so they will not cut out? Diagram maybe?

EZ. Tap into the headlight's low beam power wire and use it as the signal to energize terminal #85 on the relay which controls the fog lights.

Look at this article Whiter Whites, Brighter Brights .: Articles

Your headlights will be much brighter, and you can add a relay for your added lights.
