Light Switch or ?

Just saw that when I turn my Fog lights on that the High beams come on too even if I have the low beams on.. Anyone had that problem before? Thought I would ask to see where to start looking. The switch or the wiring harness.
Thanks for any input here.

I’d start with the switch - much simpler to deal with than a wiring harness issue, so hopefully it’s just worn out.

If you are not the original owner, there is a mod that some did to keep the fog lights on when changing from high to low or low to high beam. If you do a search or check the tech folder, you may find it. I did it to my X. However, my insurance company requires DRL to get a discount. I rewired my fog lights at the light switch to be my DRL. I replaced the old bulbs with LEDs.

..and that's the good thing about being the original owner! You know which things have ever been touched/modded. I've found a remote start that was never mentioned by the P.O. lol
