I haven't talked to him in awhile but I'll see if I can get ahold of him and see where to get my hands on it and how his set up is... all I remember was he had a OBD2 jumper to a standard pin computer connector told me it was like $30-40 back in the day... and the program loaded to your laptop...
I'll see if I can get the details cause I'd like it myself.

The easiest way to do this mod is put a light bar in the bumper.

I would simply use a test light and see which wire gets power when the high beams are activated whether it be at the headlights themselves or at the steering column. Then just wire your fog lights with that wire and ground to the chassis. This is the same technique used to install a reverse camera. It might take a while, but you know it was done right!

You may need to use a diode. You want the highs to turn on the fogs but not the other way around

It's all in the alpha OBD thread. Most of us us a (OBD Link MX). It's important you use a quality OBD connector. The program (alpha OBD) for the android version is on the Google play store for $49. They also have a windows version.

Is it easy to change the settings to turn the fog lights on while the high beams are on?

Yes it's very simple to use. There are also all kinds if other things you can enable with the tool. This is a picture of what it looks like when you open the app. If you go check out the alpha OBD thread it will give you step-by-step instructions how to enable your fog lights with high beams plus as I stated there's tons of other things you can do with this tool you can program pretty much any option you want into your truck.
