also another question for y'all...

Doing this mod do the Fogs stay on when the highbeams are activated?? if not how can we make that happen? I dislike having my fogs turn off when i activate highbeam..

the fogs turn off when you hit the highbeams. I would like a quick fix to keep them on - I hate having HID's power on and off rapidly

If you ground the wire and bypass the switch, the fogs will stay on when you high beam. Well, they will stay on as long as the car is on.

Just a thought. You can get long wires and connect it to the fogs and run it straight to the battery. If you are advanced enough, make a switch and put it inside your car.

I've never needed to turn them off before since the daytime running lights are on all the time also.
