it's illegal pretty much anywhere...it's a safty issue because of how bright the headlighs and foglights combination would be if bot were on when the high beams were on.

to answer your question... you need to do some diggin in the wiring system, and attach a relay from your high beams to the fog lights, so that they will remain on....
the alternative soltion is to hard wire the fog lights so that they are on a seperate circuit...

either way, it's a bit of a hassle...
and make sure you make it look stock, so that the po-po's don't bust you for brighting someone....

Hmmm, personally, I found fog lights to be useless after reading this article:

"Almost all factory-installed or dealer-optional fog lamps, and a great many aftermarket units, are essentially useless for any purpose, especially for extremely demanding poor-weather driving. Many of them are too small to produce enough light to make a difference, produce beam patterns too narrow to help, lack a sufficiently-sharp cutoff, and throw too much glare light into the eyes of other drivers, no matter how they're aimed."
