You can only do this with a sport, which I don't think you have. You can keep your fog lights on by jumpering the positive side of the fog light's to the high beam wire. However I'd completely rewire the headlights using a pair of Relays.

+1 for what Viper said.

Even if you can do this with a regular Ram (non-Sport), I wouldn't. Keeping both elements inside the bulb on at the same time for any period of time will drastically shorten the bulb life, they aren't designed for that. Trust me, I accidentally had it wired that way for a while (connected the wrong wires due to faulty info I got off the net).

A Sport edition with multiple bulbs, though, wouldn't be much of a problem. Just do it the way Viper mentioned, with relays.
