Default How to keep your Fog Lights ON, when your High beams turn ON

Guys:

Just thought I would post this up in case anyone was interested.

If you have a regular light setup with separate high, and low beam lights there may be legal issues in your state running 6x forward facing lights at once. Be sure to check your state laws before doing this mod.

I did a mod to my ACA HID projectors where I added a Bi-Xenon projector. My new projector is both low and high beams all in the same projector. I am not connecting my ACA high beam bulbs at all. So I only have 4x forward facing lights including my fog lights. (Modification Procedure coming soon... )

I already have a relay harness in there to keep my Low Beams on when I turn on my High Beams. I need that because of the Bi-Xenon projector setup I now have. Without it my HID bulbs would turn off when I turn on my high beams....

I made up a relay harness that will keep the Fog lights ON, when I turn on my High beam lights.

Here is the relay to keep the Fog lights ON, when my High Beams are turned ON.

Do you have anything that shows how to make one to keep the lows on as well without having them on the same projector?

I assume you mean that you want to have your low beams stay on when you turn on your high beams ? If you copy the harness I made above and connect it to the below points it will work.

Power and Ground connect to the same points as above. You just need to connect your output power to the low beam fuses #8, and #10 (instead of the fog lamp fuse #6). Your trigger will be at high beam fuse #9 (instead of fuse #12)

Radio Flyer makes these relay harness's. Super professional, and not expensive either.
The one below in the picture is a harness I got from him. I made the Fog lamp one above myself.
