Fog Lights

I'm not sure if this has been answered, but is it possible to have both the high beems and the fog lights on at once? i notice that when i have my fog lights on they go out when i switch to my hgih beems. thanks in advance.

Yes (it has been answered)

No (it is NOT possible to have both on at once)

It is designed that way because the fog lights are designed to help you see in the fog, while the high beams have the opposite effect because they reflect off the fog. And the HID's are strong enough to blind oncoming drivers if not perfectly adjusted, so it's not a good idea to add more light to the situation.

Welcome (to the forum. Good to have you aboard and contributing.)

I relay bypass is possible... I am more adamant about getting the foglights to go on without the headlights being on.

Not yet, but it should be as simple as a jumper and relay swap.

Ya, I don't premote stealing, but they never catch you with them at the junkyard. Or I will break down and buy a few. I do plan on getting around to this mod, just have to plan on when.
