Default Fog lights & high beam?

Hello Everyone,
Excuse me for my ignorance but I need help. I just installed the iJDM toy DRL kit along with 194 led parking lights and it works great no flickering at all. My question is how is everyone able to turn on their Low beams/Drl/and fog lights at the same time? Do you have to rewire anything?


For example, when I turn on my low beams the fog lights come on but once I switch to the high beam which is drl now the fog lights go off?

not if you rewire the foglights using the factory switch! i did and now i can have the drl lights and foglights on at same time , or just the foglights and no other lights on, all using the oem foglight switch.

Any chance of a quick DIY summation, or source for such?

Your DRLs only turn on when your low beams are OFF. When you turn your low beams ON your DRLs turn OFF.

Your "city lights" (little bulbs inside the high beam housing) turn on with your low beams.

Also - your fogs are programmed to turn off when your high beams are activated - unless you do the fog light mod. (just do a quick search and you will find DIY)
