No I mean the fog light mod. If you wire the fog lights to come on separately from the lowbeams will it also allow you to turn on your highbeams without the fog lights turning off?

The GS430 has different bulb sizes for the lowbeams and fog lights so you can't connect the low beam ballast to the fog light bulb and vice versa, you would have to get adapters.

Remember to reconnect the switch into the steering will. This is left out of the instructions. Diagram is pretty straight forward.

i thought about doing this but never pulled the trigger. did it on a few of my friends' cars and they like it. on the difficulty scale i'd give it a 5/10 not too bad just be careful and follow the instructions to the T.
