Default Fog lights rewiring question

Does anybody know if its possible and if so, how difficult it would be to rewire the factory fog lights so they come on with the park lights? With the headlights I have, if there is thick fog or snow, it's impossible to see the road and sometimes I see better with my headlights off which is quite dangerous. If I could run the fog lights without the headlights, I'd be able to see perfectly. Opinions?

Default ....OEM FOGS...

I want them to work with parking lights, low and high beams off the switch.
BUT, this is illegal in most states. Check with your local garage inspector. Ask about the fog light restrictions in your state.
Or, learn how to do it, and remember how to un-do it for inspection day.

i will look at the wiring i did and let you all know how to do it but you will need a new relay, a bosch single pole double throw is what i used. give me a day or two so i can look. been busy at work.

OK here it is, but first let me say that if you mess up your ride, don't blame me. i will not be held liable. if that's cool with you then here it is......get a relay, as i indicated above. you will cut the green/orange wire from the factory fog light relay and hook it up to 87 on the new relay. next cut the red/white wire from the factory fog light relay and hook it up to 30 on the new relay. next you need to hook up number 85 to your parking light wire. and lastly run a wire from the non-grounded side of the fog light switch and hook it up to 86. BAM....that's it.
