I used to have that problem with my HID fogs. I just installed a relay to power the fog HID ballasts from the battery and the fogs powered up every time without shutting off. You can make a relay and the wiring yourself or purchase one from eBay like the one here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/9005-...Q5fAccessories
Some people don't have problems using the stock 2IS fog wiring to power the ballasts but using a relay will give the ballasts a more steady power source. The stock wiring will still be used to trip the relay, but the relay will draw +12V from the battery instead of the stock fog wiring to power up the ballasts. You can even hook up a switch to trip the relay separately for those people who wants to have their fogs on without the headlights on
