Fog lamps turn off when the high lights are on.. look for the fog lamp relay.. there should be 4 prongs.. check the fog lamp relay socket. 1 pin should be 12v.. 1 pin should be ground when fog lamp switch is on and open when off.. 1 pin goes to the fog lamps. and 1 pin shows 12v, but turns to 0v when high beam switch is on... make 3- 4 inch wires. plug in the wires into the relay socket and to the same pins on the relay.. now the socket that switches from 12v to 0v when high beam is on.. don't put a wire. put a longer wire to the relay side and find a 12v or connect to battery (+).. fog should not turn off with high beams... BUT now the fogs can be turned on any time.. don't forget to turn them off..

Hey Samson, I just installed HIDs for my fogs and wanted to do this. Can I consider that a quote?

Samson will take care of your needs. especially if you are afraid to open your fuse box.
