Lights question

Is there anyway that I could keep my fog lights on when I turn on my brights (other than holding the stock)?
Thanks.

You have to be a bit more specific. Do you want your fog lights to turn on with the headlight switch, or?

If that's the case, I would take it to someone who knows vehicle electronics, because you may be in over your head.

if i have my low beams and my fog lights on, and then I turn my high-beams on, my fog lights turn off by themselves, and will turn back on after I turn off my highs. I was wondering if there was a way that the fogs wouldn't turn off when i turn on the highs.

You would have to get a hold of the schematics and wire in a separate circuit outside of factory wiring. I would suggest an experienced automotive mechanic do this for you. But good luck!

The fog light switch is controlled via data link to the ETACS-ECU which I believe controls the ground for the relay. If you took that ground wire and hooked it up to a switch, then you would have full control over the lights. Also, be warned that this may have underlying issues as you are messing with the ECU's and how they are supposed to control things. Test it first to see if there are any adverse affects. Good luck
