well the new head light/fog light switch didnt fix it ..so i put some dimmer bulbs in the housings (going to try and pass them off as day time running lights lol) and hooked my light bar back up to the fog switch.

I apologize if this thread is too old to revive. But I got the same issue. Everything worked before changing to LED bulbs.

My question to wheily is were you trying to use LED fog light bulbs? I have LED bulbs throughout my 2000 dakota. I do have an LED blinker relay to install. But this high beam with fog lights on is puzzling.

I also have a 2010 toyota corolla with all LED bulbs. Had to install resistors on the brake light circuits. Without the resistors the car will randomly trip an ABS sensor and put the car in limp mode, max 5mph. Pretty scary on a hilly back road with almost no pull off spots.
