Default Fog Light Wiring

So I have the OEM fog light kit from Toyota and as of right now when I turn on my headlights they turn on but if I turn on my high beams they turn off so I am wondering is there a way to turn just the fog lights on with the first turn of the light switch. Just wondering which wire to move it too. Thanks

the reason why the fogs turn off when the high beams turn on are for legality reasons.

you can still wire it to have the fogs rely on the parking light power for the relay, but do so at your own risk.

yeah, you can only have 2 pairs of lights coming from the front end. why would you need high beams anyway? just get an HID kit
