Just to clear out somethings.

Here in Sweden we must have DRL. Either fogs or lowbeam on DAYTIME. When its dark the foglight isnt legal in normal weatherconditions. If its foggy then its ok. If it isnt foggy then we must have lowbeam or hibeam. With the bambimod my fogs runs with the hibeam only if i pull the lightknob and when i meet another car on the road i must change to lowbeam but the fogs keeps on cause the **** is pulled out. Thats what i dont want. I want them to shut off in lowbeam.

There isn't a forscan change that has been found yet to make your fogs turn off when the **** is pulled out and low beams on. We can turn off the fog light ability completely as some trucks don't have them but doing what you want is kind of against the whole reason for that **** being able to be pulled out and control the fog lights.

That is probably going to have to be a mod you custom make with a relay or something. I think someone else suggested something similar to where if that **** is pulled out and the high beams are on, then the fog lights turn on. Or you could add another rocker switch to do this and then keep the **** to where it will work as normal. It would probably be a fairly easy relay mod from the fuse box. You will just have to be careful about not sending power back the wrong way.

So a relay run off the hibeams to the fogs then a diode in each fog to prevent current back flow to the BCM. Pretty simple.

If you did Bambi then you can leave the switch for them off and they will turn on when you flick the high beams on.

That isn't how my bambi mode works. It just allows the fog lights to turn on if I pull the switch and I have the high beams. It doesn't automatically turn them on with high beams.

Hello folks. Thank You all. I just finished several days of reading this post. WOW! So much to take in. First thing I did was Dark mode. Baby steps right. Ordered the RS kit should be here Tuesday, also longer wire to reach headliner.
Saved all my As-Built Data first, just in case. Trying turn signals tonight, going for 5 blinks. I have to say this Forum Rocks!
