Default Fog lights not working

So I bought some LED lights for my 92 ls400 but now the fog lights don't work when I turn the switch to turn on the yellow lights the high beams turn on instead, also when I turn on the high beams the little light on the cluster to indicate the high beams are on doesn't come on. Any way I could fix this or if there's LEDs that work good with the 92 ls400? Thanks in advance

Plug and play into what is the question. If these were wired separately with a remote switch back into the cabin it is simple. If the wire was tapped into an existing wire that may be the cause of why the high beams come on. The operation of the high beams cancels the OEM fogs.

The LEDs plug into the normal headlight plug

Not enough resistance in the LED lights. Will trigger the no light warning.

Could that be affecting the fog lights too? Because when I turn on the fog lights the high beams come on instead

Ok, I was under the impression these were accessory lights not LED headlight bulbs.
