    I want my fog lights to stay on with my high beams because the crappy FleaBay lights are nowhere near bright enough without the fogs on.

    TIA.

    I made a small notch near the base and wrapped it there.

    Do you have to change the wiring on the switch? Is it just so the light lights up when the fog lights are on? The light not being on doesn't really bother me is why I ask.

    No. My indicator lamp quit working long ago so I didn't bother.

    Good to know that a solder joint doesn't melt the relay.

    Yes, you can leave the switch alone if you don't mind the light not coming on.

    So far, so good. I split the wire end's strands into two bundles and tied and trimmed it tightly at the notch then cut a small piece of electrical tape to go there. That corner doesn't mash down all the way but its enough. Soldering there might melt the relay. That was the best way I could figure so it would still plug in as far as possible. Keep in mind I live in Arkansas though, ha ha.

    Is anyone aware of a a way to have hi-beams on with low beams plus fog lights? I have HID low beams but sometimes it would be nice to have high beams on also...its probably overkill, just thought I would ask. Sorry for the thread jack.

    It can be done, but don't do it. Too much heat and you will kill your bulbs. Besides, HID hi's make such a little difference that it wouldn't be worth it.

    Last time I checked in MA, it is illegal to have fogs and high-beams on. (Doesn't mean that people still don't do it...)

    Around here, the copper could write you up for a Vehicle Inspection, which costs around $120, and could lead to other problems with your vehicle that must be repaired before you pass the inspection.

    Pretty sure I have a better chance of winning the Powerball Lottery. LOL
