I have read a bunch of posts on it, but i want pictures!! the only ones i have found are [img]blablablabla[img] and i cant open those. if someone could put up actual pics or tell me how to open these dam things i would really appreciate it.

Do a google search for it. There are kits on the market to allow you do it. I would think it wouldn't take much more than a relay, some wire and possibly a diode. I haven't looked into that closely but I know I have seen the kits while browsing for other stuff.

I just put a jumper wire from my parking lights to my fog lights that way my fog lights will come on anytime my parking lights are on and therefore they will be on when my high beams on. I know several people that have done just a jumper wire and been fine, but just to play it on the safe side I put an inline fuse.
The inline fuse is a good idea. You can never be too safe when dealing with electricity.
I forgot about Geno's Garage. They specialize in Cummins powered Dodges but some things they sell, such as the fogster kit, fit all Dodges. I ordered from Geno's when I had my Cummins and they're a good company to deal with.
Dodgenitto - the way you have your jumper wire do you have the option of turning on your high beams without the fogs? Seems like your jumper bypasses the switch.
I personally think Dodge got it right when they wired the fogs to go off when the high beams come on. If I need more light than my high beams provide I hae a set of Lightforce driving lights to take up the slack.
i think the dealership can program the system for the driving lights to stay on with hi beams read it on this forum awhile ago.
I searched this forum and googled it and everything I have read is that the dealer won't or can't do it. You can always talk to the service advisor at your local dealer but I wouldn't get my hopes too high. I really don't think the fog lights on with the high beams is an option already in the computer that can just be turned on but I could be wrong.

No The fogs are on with the high beams all the time. I prefer it that way.

Its easy with a relay, fuse and wire. This isolates the electrical system of the high beams from the fog lights and protects the factory wiring from overload. Will post a drawing/pic of it later if I get a chance. Fogs are on when the high beams are on. May add a switch so I can turn them off if I want. Just a little more wire and a switch
