Default Fogs with hi beam.

Hi everybody.
I'm new here.
Own 2003 dodge ram 1500 hemi.
Tried this DIY today - https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...-beam-diy.html .
and what can I say - fogs are on with hi beam, but they turn on even with the parking lights and I can't turn them off.

Is there any trick for me to have the fogs with hi beams and save the ability to turn them of/on by pushing/pulling the light switch?

Sorry for my english. It's not native.

Why not have them on with your parking lights? I love driving with my fogs on, it just makes my truck look better :P.

No way that I am aware of. Just a side effect you have to live with. I did the DIY a couple of years ago and am happy with it. It's rare that I just use parking lights anyway. The only other thing you could really do is to rewire your fogs to their own circuit with a switch that you could use to just turn them on or off when you want them, regardless of the high beams.

You must have got the wrong leg of the relays in that picture mine has been hooked up that way for a couple years now and I can turn on/off fogs with park lights and low beams but always on with high beams..

the newer kits have a small toggle switch to turn them on/off.
