Default Fogs and Headlights on

I've been searching the site the last couple days and have come up with nothing. I would like to know what i need to do to keep my fog lights on when I switch my headlights to hi beams. I seen a $20 kit on ebay but didn't want to buy it until I knew that it couldn't be done easier. Also what is the process for making the switch to be able to have the fog lights on in the park light position? Thanks.

I would think you would have to find the relay that controls the headlights and running lights and place a jumper between the two. One single wire and a few minutes.

Super easy. Remove the HL switch, and attach the wire from the yellow wire to the brown wire. That turns the fog lights on as soon as you turn it to the park lamps or headlamps. the mod also keeps the fogs on when you turn the high beams on as the fog lights are receiving power from the instrument lighting. I've tested it, and they do stay on. Super simple and cheap!

The fog lights automatically come on or you still have to pull the switch after jumping the two wires? Thanks for the help!
