Default How do i get the fog lights to stay on when the High Beams are activated?

Hey guys i just got the Gourmet Garage (used to be McCulloch) HID system. I have had no problems with it and it looks great.
Does anyone know how to re-wire, or do something so that when I turn on the High Beams the fog lights will not go out?
This is for a GS 2001
Thanks for any imput.

Default Fog lights

Fogs ar enot meant to be used in conjunction with high beams, although many people have lost sight of the fact that their lights are actually fog lights and not auxillary lights. What I mean by that is that most people are driving with their "fog" lights on all the time anyway. Why would you need/want the fogs to be on with the high beams anyway...don't you think the hi-beams coupled with your HID's would be enough?

I think the guy just like the look it has, has nothing to do with the actuall brigtness gain he might obtain.
I was trying to figure out how I can ride like my brothers Mustang where his fogs and park lights are own. To me it just looks cool at night when your cruising down the strip. HID fogs + driving lights (not high beams)

i recently put hid's in my head and fog lights, but like u i wanted the fogs to stay on when i high beemed, what we did was run the fog hid wires to the parking light wires( since my recently put on bodykit doesn't have opening 4 side parking lights, they were eliminated). the wires of the parking lights were just taped up hanging inside the front bumper. so we used those wires to connect the fogs with hid's. so know when i high beem the fogs stay on. also did it cus with my remote start alarm when the car turns on with the parking lights its the fog hid's that come on instead. and i agree with sypher with thats its never enough, i'm also going to put a set of hid's in the high beams i know i don't really need all of them to c cus hid's in the headlights is enough to c but i wanted them 4 my personal taste. so it can b done.
