Put a jumper between the high beam and the fog light wires on the factory switch.

I see you don't have spark plugs, but you still need a test light!

I did mine a long time ago. Do a search on it. It isn't the easiest to find, but the info is out there on FTE.

Brite Box is the easiest way to.

Are you sure the BriteBox does the fog lights as well as the low beams? If I built it, it would. BUT, I don't have one so I don't really know for sure.

I will have to take a look at the diagram. As soon as I unpack the box that the disc is in. Moving s***s.
I think that it would Jeff. The only difference is the DRL. IIRC

If you want to see exactly what the BB does for you pull back on the dimmer switch using the "flash to pass" feature. This is the EXACT same thing a BB does, but without having to hold the arm back.

I see...with FLC it will operate the fog lights!

IIRC there was a purple wire and a black w/ white tracer, but I really don't remember anymore. Have you found anything when you searched? Like I said, it is hard to find. I had it bookmarked on my old computer.
