RE: fog lights
The purpose of your foglights other than looking cool is to light the ground under the fog, ever notice when its foggy out you see better with your lowbeams, If you are dumb enough to hook these lights into the highbeams, not oly will they not function the way you want them too, they wont be on untill your highbeams are on. If there existing there tapped into your running lamps, if it's not in yet you should set them up on their own toggle( recomended ) otherwise if you are truly serious, find your highbeam wires on the headlights and splice them in, thats what the dealer does

RE: fog lights
Here ya go..
This is a fairly simple, 5 minute procedure. First, you must remove the black plastic dash frame. It just snaps out. Then, remove the 3 screws holding the headlight switch in and remove the switch. There are 2 connectors on the back of the switch.. A 2-wire connector and a multi-wire
connector. The 2 wire connector has a BLACK and a BLACK with GREEN STRIPE wire. Run a jumper from the BLACK with GREEN STRIPE wire in the 2 wire
connector to the LIGHT BLUE with BLACK stripe wire on the multi-wire connector. That's it! Your fog lights will come on when you turn them on
(parking lamps must be on, at least) and will stay on with low or high beams.
But some states its a law that they shut off when the high beams are on. Thats why every OEM driving/fog light equipped vehicle is set up to shut off on high beams. Some states its illegal to even have them on unless its during adverse weather.
