Fog Lights
I have been looking through the threads for a while now and was wondering if anyone knows this answer...is there a way to keep the fog lights on while the high beams are on?

I believe it is a Federal mandate that they go out when brights are on. I added extra set of driving lights on my 07

Yes there is....I've done it on my truck.
Its possibly the easiest thing to ever do.....When i get home i can pull the cover off the relay and snap a picture if you don't find it sooner.

Ryan- Please do. I did it on my Probe, but haven't gotten around to doing it on my truck. If it's that easy...

I tapped into the headlight switch, I think it was the brown wire( trigger wire ) and used that to trigger a relay that runs off of the battery. When ever the lights are on, the driving lights are on also. When I turn on the highbeams, the driving lights stay on.

Thats far more work than just grounding the one relay terminal.....i've had mine done for months with no issues and it works great

I have had mine done for almost 4 years and I have had no issues. About a 10 minute modification.

Oh i'm not saying you'll have any issue with it.....just your way theres more wiring and the added cost of a relay......my way...12 inches of wire..
