Default Fog Lights and High Beam

I have an 05 RT

Is there a way to get the fog lights to stay on while using the highbeams?
I truly dislike the fact that on highbeams it turn them off.
I read once somewhere that you could, but when I went looking for it I could not find it.


Thanks

I don't know of a way to bypass the feature, though I am sure it can be done. However, I have to wonder, "Why you want to do this?"
High beams should be avoided when driving in fog. The concept of fog lights is to provide light at a lower level so the reflection off of the fog doesn't further reduce your view.

I understand that one is not to be used with the other.
The only reason I want to do this is because I am so used to have all lights on in my cars that it "sort" of bothers me.
In my old dakota truck they were independent of each other so, hence...the question about the magnum

Yes it can be done, but you have to sweet talk the dealer as you need to use StarScan to activate this

There is an "EXPORT" mode on the headlights to do this. When I installed the factory lamp on mine, it was already in export mode for some reason. There is a statement in the technichian install instructions to ensure that US & Mexico cars are NOT in export mode. Since it was in export to start with they left it there. I use the fog lamps as aux lighting(too bad they arent driving lighs instead) for use with the highs, there is maybe only 4 days a year here when there is fog.
