I was wondering if anyone could tell me, from experience, how to make my driving and fog lights stay on with my brights? I want to be able to push the stalk forward and have it look like it is when you hold the stalk back.

You can't bro

kylewalton2007

fog lights shouldn't be used with high beams, and in pa and probably other states for inspection, the fog lights have to cancel out when the high beams are on.

It actually is possible.

You will need to use a setup of relays to accomplish the task.

That being said, having your fog lights remain on with the high beams is illegal per the vehicle codes of most states. In addition, the OEM wiring doesn't like the additional heat from running all the lamps at once. This setup is better suited for those of us who use HID in projector housings.

Yeah I was just thinking about relays. But is it worth it to you to mess with all that?

do u drive with your brights on in fog alot?

The fog lights being on is not a necessity, I mostly just want the driving and brights on at the same time.

X2.

High and Low beams BOTH on at the same time (when using the High beams) would be nice.

I feel that it gives you a false sense of security. It puts too much light too close to the vehicle.

In PA, it helps immensely. You have high beams to see further down the road, but you also have low beams to watch the sides better for any closer animals that want to use your car to commit suicide.


Anyways, to the OP. You can easily do it with relays, but if you're on the OEM bulbs (Halogen), I don't reccommend doing it since it generates a large amount of heat. The Projector housing with low beam HID suits this setup perfectly and safely (And throws an insane amount of light down the road to boot).

I'm afraid of upgrading to the aftermarket projector lights because I heard they're leaky and tend to crack easily.

In most states that is illegal as well.

As stated its illegal to run high beams and fog lights at the same time. It can be done with a relay kit though. Buy a 4 lamp headlight kit designed for Chevy trucks, you can make it work.

originaladrian

just buy a relay kit. its very easy.

To those who say you cant.

Are you just talking to get posts up or something or actually think you know what your talking about?

whatttttttt????



if done proporly theres no risk.

some people do it to save there HIDs from damage.


Mine happen to stay on when I flash my brights.

Most cars are set up, from the factory, with the low beams programmed to stay on with the high beams.

metroplex

Only temporarily using the flash to pass feature. If the high beams remain on, the low beams and fog lights are normally shut off.

MapOfTaziFoSho

On the Cobalt, yes, but most other cars...not the case.

koch1ar

um none from gm, a lot of fords! what cars do you speak of?? lol

dunit121

you only need to run 1 relay but 2 would probly work better ... but honestly a relay is one of the easist things to wire up once you know how and would take all of 15 minutes to do because i did this on the old car and i never had a problem with the cops and i drove by a few with my brights and fogs on in the hamptons

My '04 SVT Focus (w/ HID's) worked this way from the factory.

I see many cars/trucks that keep the low beams on with the high beams.

Almost nothing is illegal in Oklahoma. We don't even have safety inspections on cars anymore.... To those that ask why: Have you ever driven on a rural Oklahoma road at night?
