my 06 and now my 08 will come on with park lights and fog lights only, fogs will stay on when you switch the headlights on too. But if you use the brights the fogs will go out.
There is a mod that can keep them on but the design is comply with state laws.

Using the "SEARCH" function, I found this. I am not sure if it is what you are trying to accomplish.

So...why would you want your fog lights on with just your parking lights...
Correct me if I'm wrong, here...but aren't fog lights to help you see better? And if so, and you're driving in conditions where you need to see better, aren't your headlights supposed to be on?
Honestly, I can't stand it when you see people running around at dusk or after dark with just parking lights and fog lights on...it's illegal and makes you harder to be seen...

Actually, there IS a thread, from five years back, that deals with this exact thing. It is not the one referenced above.
It involves taking apart the switch itself and modifying a plastic part inside to allow the switch to work when in the parking position. I read it years ago and thought it was pretty slick, though it doesn't apply to my 2000 at all.

I believe it will do exactly what you want, and cleanly!
After this mod the fogs supposedly will also work with the high beams.
It applies to 2001's only.

I remembered that particular mod, but I thought it was for the F150 only. I couldn't locate the post. Good find!

Oh, and to answer one of the above questions on why fog lights without headlights. We camp a lot and as a courtesy to other campers, I'd like to turn off my headlights while driving into/out of the campground at night but rely on the fog lights do light up down low (i.e. not in anyones eyes). Now with this mod I'm all set as well as having them work with the high beams.

What I did on my 01. I put a jumper wire from the yellow, to the dark brown in the corner of the same plug.
If you do this, you do not have to pull the switch out at all, fog lights will be one when ever parking lights or headlights (hi or low) are on.
To have control over this i added a small switch above the headlight switch so i can turn off the foglights if I want.
