Default **tC** Help make Fog Lights stay on with High Beams

Ive done the mod that lets me control the fogs 100% with the switch, but they still turn off when the High Beams come on. Any ideas?

The factory fog light setup is wired to turn off when the high beams come on. My camaro was the same way. In the Camaro, I was able to ground one wire to the frame and the fog lights would stay on with the highs, but Im not sure which wire to ground and whether or not it would work the same way.

i dont think it'l work the same way as yer camaro. it shouldn't be too hard to figure out tho if i took a look at it... it would seem like u would need to just re-wire the fogs so they only turned on with a switch... it wouldn't matter if yer headlights were off or on highbeam. i'm not sure if u did this already or not.... are they wired through a relay of somesort?

Yeah...theyre wired through the factory relay. Im pretty sure that when the High beams come on, the ground is removed from the relay and the fog lights turn off. Regardless, it seem that one wire should do the trick to make it do what I want.
