How to keep Fogs on with high-beams ??

Does anyone know how I can re-wire so the fogs stay on with the high beams ?

Ditto on this question, I would like the same.

Please don't chime in "That is illegal in most states, you should check before you do that to you car", or "Why would you want to do that?"

I want it too, tell me how to do it, simple. Oh, and thanks in advance!

Sorry, but I do have to ask:
Why do you want to do that?
Not a "Why do you want to do that, you idiot?". more like a "I'm curious why someone would want to do this, maybe it's something I'd want to do, if I knew why others did".

That is illegal in most states, you should check before you do that to you car...Why would you want to do that?

Isn't "to put more light on the road" the obvious answer? High beams throw the beam out far down the road but don't seem to illuminate the nearby sides of the roads as well.

I changed out my fogs and put in Hella driving lights.
I rewired the headlight connectors (switching the high and low wires)
Quick and easy.
One problem...
I now have a lowbeam indicator on my dash.
I am used to this now and I always have run blue dash lights which helps.

There is always one in every crowd...

I just found out how to do this in my 04 F150 and that is my project for the night. The Mustang is different and the same procedure won't work on it.

I think the only way you need the switch is if you want to turn the fogs off when on high beam.

With mine I just push in the stock switch and they turn off.
Of course, I can't run my driving lights with my low beams but I can run just the driving lights.
Its just like stock only backwards.
It was also FREE.

Here's an old thread that details the process. http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...t=40378&page=2

I'm thinking of trying this - and wanted to know if anyone has tried this with an '07 - and if there are any long term implications or problems.

Well heres something slightly the same, was wondering if anyone has done this. I have a roush front fascia now, so now that I have two set of fogs, only one works at a time. Has anyone rewired so that both sets of fogs are on at the same time. That I would like to do, I dont need them for brights on, just both sets of fogs, the orig, and the roush. I am assuming I will probably just have to disconnect the roush kit from the factory driving lights, and rewire it so the roush switch has its own power. But if there is a cleaner way without having to add another switch for second set of fogs then I would like to keep it factory looking if possible. Thanks for any suggestions
