Known mod for high-beam & fog lamps?

Anyone done a mod on their 4G that keeps the fog lamps ON when switched to HIGH beams?

I had this on my 97 Maxima and would love to do it to my 2015 TL.

Really? No one has done such a mod? Maybe I posted on the wrong category. If the moderator can move it that would be great.

Are you taking your 4G off roading? Why do you want high beams and fogs on at the same time?

I have my fogs wired up independently with a separate switch/relay and new h11 connectors.

This will allow you to turn the fogs on at ANY time, regardless of whether or not the high beams are on.

I also wrote up a DIY if you're interested in how I wired it up:

No off roading. Just like having ALL the light I can toss up at night in the country roads. Wild life is prolific I the Carolinas at night.

You can do it with a few relays and the factory wiring.

Put a relay in series with the factory fog lights that will cut the power from the factory computer to the fog lights. Have the other end of the relay connected to the battery. This way when you engage the relay, you don't risk frying any of the factory computers since the "factory" wire will be disconnected!

That way even when the car cuts the fog lights off with the High beams on, you can re-route power to the fog's directly from the battery to keep them on. This way you retain the factory switch and it looks/acts almost factory.
