get some real driving lights and mount to the lower grill
many low cost options work very well

the stock fogs are not made to send a nice pencil beam forward--they disperse light around the front of the car so you can find the road edge lines

dont let a cop see you with all the lights on together--violation of federal car maker laws
to have high and fog at same time

what k bulbs are in the low beams? age?

Everything is stock from when i purchase the car except i added a HID to my fog light. Thanks for the advice. When im coming home from work in the morning there is no traffic i might see one car at most driving home.

The Fog Light Mod only enables you to Turn on the Fog Lights when you want instead of needing to turn on Headlights..

What the OP wants its to be able to Turn on Fogs + Headlights + High Beams for that you can use my DIY Mod:

Note: That might be Illegal in some States I have been Driving with them for 1-2 Years now here in California, No Problems with Cops so Far.

O- get some new bulbs,,
well- get a new hid kit with ballast capacitor and bulbs
www.hidextra.com is a good source

amazing differance with new bulbs,,and we have a known prob of moisture behind lens killing the other parts, so do it all now and be done with it

use claybar on the headlight plastic lens- removes grit,,then polish them to like new

Yup just locate the White-Blue cable it must be #9 if you have the connector in your hand just look from where the cables come out behind it..

The Socket doesnt have a Number #8 pin is Un-used the one you need is just right from it, It must be White+Blue.. Use the Split and go for the Number #11 General Ground (Its Black + Silver)... Re-Install everything and PRESTO! its done.... Now you can Use High Beams and the Fogs Will NEVER Turn Off by Them, the Plus is: You still have TOTAL Control Over the Fogs and It doesnt conflict with the Fog Light Mod 2.0!!

Just Remember its for VERY DARK ROADS Use Only!! Never try to Drive all the time with all 6 Lights On its very Harmful for your fellow Incoming Drivers!

Yeah too bad some guys arent as Nice as Us driving in da TL!
Been blinded by countless drivers driving with all the shit its car has on Very dark Highways Not caring a single (&%!)" for me or the guys on my Lane...

The Bad thing is I cannot Flash cuz I have 5K High Beams sooo I have to wait until they charge-up So, Most of the time I just live with it...
If they are coming in far far away then Yes my 5K just bright the shit out of him making him lower his crap then we can all drive safely
