Default *Fog lights*

Man... I searched and searched, but everything that I have found
doesn't seen to work. What I need to know is... Does anyone know
how to make the fog lights stay on, when I switch to high beams.
I know its not that big of a deal, but its just weird that they go off.

the only reason it does that is so the lights dont pull too much juice off the battery....the only way to get around this is to...

wire in another switch that cuts off when the truck is off.....

O.K. I saw other people who had "jumper wires", splice this, and
splice that. Not that big of a deal. Just wondering if there was a
simple solution. Thanx

if you jump wires, there will be too much load on the stock switch

theres safety issues why the fogs shut off in high beam, op. it's so you don't blind the snot out of oncoming traffic and overload the wiring and light switch. and yeah they make that high beam/fog lamp still on kits but i wouldn't trust them.

I believe they go off when you put the bright on for legal reasons. I know part of the New York inspection, they have to check that they do go off if you put the brights on.
