sirtokesalot Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) is there a way to make the fog lights stay on when the high beams are selected? i dont want them to run without the headlights just want them to not shut off when i switch on brights.

heartless Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 not sure why you would want to do this, since the fogs would basically kill the distance vision of the high beams (which is why they are the way they are from factory) fogs are meant for use in poor visibility conditions, not general driving use. but to each their own i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've modified this on almost all my cars. sirtokesalot, if you'd care to enlighten us as to what you're working on, I'll answer your question. I normally will not even respond if I have to ask this.

I normally will not even respond if I have to ask this. ive been converting my lights to projector housings and want to use hids in the fogs but dont want the warm up time of hid's when switching back and forth between low and high beam yes the fogs are not yet projectors but i have the parts to do it and just have to actually do the mod. wanted to get the wiring done first. the low beams though are freekin sweet and thankfully because the lows stay on with highs on these cars i was able to use the projectors for both low and high.
