I am looking for a solution of how to allow the fog lights, low beams and high beams to be on at the same time. I currently have HID fogs and plan on putting in HID high beams and replacing my low beams with 6000k lights as well as putting in the LED DRL's. I tend to drive in out of the way forest areas where I can use the extra light otherwise I drive around town and never use the high beams. In town the low beams and fogs are far superior to the stock high beams which are worthless. There must be some kind of relay that can be used. I am looking for some advice, and yes I know the high beams are not instant on with HID so dont flame me.

 

There's a reason you don't see cars with 6 lights on the road at night...

FYI-here's how
Would require a relay. Run a power line from one of your front side marker lights to a new switch in the cabin, run a second wire from the switch to the relay.

This set up will turn your fogs off when the side marker lights are not on, even if the cabin switch is on. This takes care of the worry that the lights might be left on. The bad news is that if your DIC settings are set to flash the lamps when you lock/unlock or alarm goes off, that's not good for the HID ballasts.

Then run a power wire from the + terminal on the underhood fuse box to the relay, then relay to lights. Don't forget to find a good ground location (10mm bolt on PS, top of frame, behnid radiator, in front of fuse box).

I ordered a HID kit from a vendor on the forum, and it came with a relay wiring kit. I installed it so that when I turn on the fogs with the stock switch, it energized the relay. But could have added the wire from the side marker light and a new interior switch with a little more effort. Just didn't want to bother.

Remember, the relay doesn't care where is getting the turn on power from, you could wire it into the stock switch AND add a line for turn on power from the side marker to switch to relay. This would give you the "option" to have the fogs on with the highs or not.

Good Luck, Bryan

 

Take a look at this Thread, it might answer some of your questions.

I've considered doing the same thing as you, for the same reasons, but driving around with 6 HID''s lighting the way will get you pulled over by any oncoming LEO, every time.

Just as a point of information. FMVSS only allows 4 lights to be on at a time. If you have your low beams on and your fogs on also, when you flip to the hi beams the fogs will go off. FMVSS only allows 4 lights at a time.

FMVSS = Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (read - Federal law).

I agree, not a good idea unless you are on a snowmobile.

 

Well I'm sure he wouldn't run around town with them on.

When you need to see in dark areas this would be good (when no other cars are around). I'm glad someone chimed in with the answer.
