its something that i was just thinkin about. not forsure. i want to get the hid kit bought and installed before i do anything. but it would be nice to have the fogs on while the highs are on, to illuminate the area directly infront of the vehicle in which the highs "jump" over

In most states, this mod will also be, well, how to say...

Illegal...
Never could find any logical reason for that law, fog lights don't blind people...

well, i think the main reason for it, is that, most vehicles, haev two seperate bulbs, and in most states, it's illegal to have more than 4 lights on the front of a vehicle...

so wait, actually, since we have 1 bulb as our highs/lows instead of 2 seperate bulbs, and the state law says

A. At all times specified in subsection B of Section 12-201 of this title, at least two lighted headlamps shall be displayed, one on each side at the front of every motor vehicle, except when such vehicle is parked subject to the regulations governing lights on parked vehicles, as provided in Section 12-214 of this title. B. Whenever a motor vehicle equipped with headlamps as herein required is also equipped with any auxiliary driving lamps or a spot lamp or any other lamp on the front thereof projecting a beam of intensity greater than three hundred (300) candlepower, not more than a total of four of any such lamps on the front of a vehicle shall be lighted at any one time when upon a highway. C. The driver of any vehicle shall comply with the provisions of Section 12-217 of this title regarding the use of alternate headlamp equipment.
then we can drive with our fog lights lit on the highway
