Default High beams on with Fog lights

Who makes the switch that lets you keep your fog lights on when you have your high beams on?

there was a link on how to make that possible on here a couple years ago i seen and it had something to do with running a hot wire from the brights fuse to the fog lights or something like that. didn't like the idea so never tried it. run a wire of the brights to a toggle switch then to your fog lights live wire that might work.

Do a search. You just need to tie the two relays together via a short length of wire.

Yupp check the faqs. There is a writeup in the that shows how to do it with a short piece of wire. Works great too.

I think you can pull the fog light relay out and use a small jumper wire and jump from 87 to 30 . I tryed it on my 05 and it worked .

This may seem like using a shotgun to kill a moth, but a programmer like the Bullydog will allow it as well. That's how I set mine up.

Only on models that have a TIPM... Pre-'06 Rams are physical (relay controlled)...

I think I'd rather have 2 sticks than this to try and troubleshoot:



Was a guy on here or maybe another forum not too long ago who couldn't get his brake lights to work, '07 Ram I think it was. Dealer replaced TIPM at a cost of something like $900. Technology is great when it works, but when it doesn't $$$$$$$. I think I'd rather replace a $5 relay, LOL...
