foglights
Is there a way to get the foglights to come on with the headlamps and not have to keep hitting the momentary switch? It's quite annoying to always have to turn them on manually every time the lights come on. In my 88 vette, the switch was a regular on/off rocker type. Once I get that accomplished I'll do what I did with the vette and reroute the ground wire so they work even when the high beams are in use. I'd rather not have to use a different switch unless it fit where the existing switch is.

I think u may have posted in the wrong section, lol. If it bothers you that much, just replace the stock button with a rocker style switch. It wouldnt be too hard. About having the fogs on with the highs, DONT! 1. its illegal, 2. the fine is high and 3. I HATE WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT! I have passed quite a few people who have done that and its bright as f**k.

Install a 12 Volt Relay to SUPPLY Power for the Fog Lights to be SWITCHED by Ignition ON~OFF
Run a wire from an ACCY Fuse using a "Fuse Tap" to the IN Terminal for triggering the coil on the 12 Volt Relay placed in a convenient location near Battery.
Run GROUND wire from coil triggering OUT to suitable GROUND.
Run 12 Volt Line to INLINE FUSE Fuse holder. Wire from FUSE HOLDER to RELAY LOAD IN.
RELAY LOAD OUT to SPLICE. Splice wire to LOAD wire making a "Y" where LOAD wire branches-off giving you two (2) LOAD wires.
Install 2 Relays - Close - Side-by-side.
Run twin LOAD wires to Relays.
LOAD-1 to Low Beam Relay
LOAD-2 to High Beam Relay.
Run wire from LO-BEAM Relay LOAD OUT
Run wire from HI-BEAM Relay LOAD OUT
SPLICE BOTH LOAD OUT wires together.
SPLICE wire for POWER to LIGHTS to the SPLICED TOGETHER LOAD wires from the two relays.
Run wire from HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM +12Volts ON when Low Beams selected to Low Beam Coil Trigger IN
Run wire from HEADLIGHT HI-BEAM +12Volts ON when High Beams selected to HI-BEAM Coil Trigger IN
Use Stereo Speaker wire.
Run Speaker Wire from Relays to Switch on Dash for Fog Lights.
One side wire from Hi Beam Relay Coil Trigger Ground
Other side wire from Lo Beam Relay Coil Trigger Ground
Through firewall to 3 Way Switch
ON OFF ON
Attach appropriate wires to switch terminals.
Ground opposite switch terminals.
Your Fog Lights will be controlled by the Ignition Switch. When you turn-on the key power will be supplied to the TWIN Relays from the Switched Relay. The Dash Switch will control the Fog Lights. On w/ Hi's - Off - On w/ Lo's
