Heres a quick and easy way to have your fog lights stay on with your high beams. With this mod you have 100 percent control over your fog lights.
Here's your fog light relay.
This is the specific slot on the relay plug that you are going to be no longer using, it is a control circuit that swaps from positive to negative depending on wether or not your headlights are on hi or low beam. You do not modify the socket, the picture is for reference only in case you get confused as to which spade on the relay you need to bend.
Take your fog light relay and gently fold over the spade that goes into the slot I pointed out in the previous pic. You will need to fold the spade far enough to clear a plug that protrudes from from the relay/fuse block. Bend and check for clearance.
Using 14 gauge wire, a ring terminal, and a female spade terminal (or you can solder the wire to the spade on the relay) simply run your wire from the power feed post on the fuse block to the terminaly on the relay that you bent over. Now, so to speak, your truck always thinks the low beams are on and will give you complete control of your fogs. I recommend you add an inline 15 amp fuse between the battery post and the spade you have attached your wire to. There is really nothing to go wrong but its always better to be safe than sorry, I would have done it but I am out of in line fuses. Yes, I know this mod is illegal in most states but I am from and live in Montana so by nature we dont much care about laws
