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.

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.

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..
