Anyone know how to turn the fogs on all the time (when car is running)? I would like to have them turn on when I start the car no matter if it is day or night and if the High beams are on. Also I would like to keep the switch working so they could be turned off If needed.Mainly I would like them on when the DRL are on.

continuing from Ragingfish's link (Thanks)If you take the org/grn wire and run it to a relay that grounds that wire when the car is in IGN or ACC on the key, the fogs sould go on all the time provided the key is on.Right?GRN/ORG to relayrelay to groundrelay power to ACC via fuse box under dash

Why? They're FOG lights. That's why they're down low, not up high, like driving lights. They shouldn't be on unless it's foggy. All they do is cause EXCESS GLARE to oncoming traffic, provide zero improvement in night time vision (unless it's foggy of coarse) and place more load on the engine for less performance and lower mpg. They're irritating to oncoming traffic. There is a reason why they don't come on, when the high beams are on.

Thanks for telling me how you feel..... The ansewer to your ? is because I want them to be on. I plan on putting amber bulbs in them which should cut the glare .

............but you don't have to look at them in oncoming traffic, like other drivers do.
