Re: how to make ta fog lights stay on w/ hi beam? I'm sure there is, the fog lights really don't serve much of a purpose anyways...they don't make any light difference when you have the regular lights on....try flipping them on and off at night....you will see no change... <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
Why are you trying to blind people anyways... <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Re: how to make ta fog lights stay on w/ hi beam? BIGBOS,
Maybe yours are broken. Mine make a difference.
Try to trace wires. If a standard Auto relay is uses find the wire that connects to the high beams and ground it. Maybe!

Re: how to make ta fog lights stay on w/ hi beam? This is one way we use to do it on the Grand Prix
The factory fog lights are wired to their own relay, except the ground wire is run through the high beam relay. When the brights come on the fogs are no longer grounded so they turn off.
Bend the ground plug on the relay up, connect a wire to it, then attach the other end of the wire to the car body somewhere.

Re: how to make ta fog lights stay on w/ hi beam? Cut the light green wire!! I did that "mod" long ago. I will double check to make sure that its the light green wire (In your fuse box) so that you dont accidently cut the wrong wire.
Just look under the fuse box and there should be a bunch of wires down there. Cut the light green one and the ground it while taping off the other end, just so it doesnt get wet when it rains or when you wash your car.
Honestly the fog light dont do much but neither do the ones on other cars, then again they really arent fog light more as they are driving lights. Though I can notice the little bit of light when I flip them on and off.
Having all your lights on looks cool and that was the only reason I did it. That and to attempt tp blind those who blind me.

Re: how to make ta fog lights stay on w/ hi beam? I have my fog lights stay on with my high beams. I pulled the fog light relay, and replaced it with a wire. Here's a pic...
You can see the black wire I have in there. It makes the fog lights stay on anytime the lights are on. Low's, high's, and parking. Also when you lock and open the doors with the remote, the fog lights flash also.

<strong>wheres the other end of that wire going to?</strong><hr></blockquote>
Sorry, should have explained a little more. When you pull the fog relay out, you will see there are 4 pin holes, where the pins on the fog relay went in. They are numbered, I don't remember the specific numbers off the top of my head. The wire is going from one hole into the other one. If I remember correctly, the holes you have to connect with the wire are #'s 1 & 8. But like I said, I don't remember off the top of my head. If we are looking at the picture from this frame of reference, the wire is going from the bottom left hole and the top right hole (on a diagonal). I'll look tomorrow if you want me to. It's dark out right now and pouring.

Re: how to make ta fog lights stay on w/ hi beam? Oh yeah, one more thing. This is on a 2000 Camaro. I belive it would be the same for a 99 T/A, or any other LS1 for that matter. I first tried the "cutting the green wire" mod, but that didn't work for me. Maybe there was a difference between the LT1 and LS1. So I soldered back the wire and just did what I posted above.

Re: how to make ta fog lights stay on w/ hi beam? Terry did you use the the above method or did you cut the green wire....
And can someone tell me the # on the fuse so I know which one to yank out... <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Re: how to make ta fog lights stay on w/ hi beam? I just pulled out the fog light fuse and there is four pins on it, jumper the 2 front ones together (ones toward the nose of the car)
the fog light elay is in the fuse box under the hood and the fog light one is listed on top of the cover

Re: how to make ta fog lights stay on w/ hi beam? I just did it too. Works perfect, just like Terry said. I used some solid #18 or #20 wire.
Does anyone know how to keep the low beams, high beams, and fog lights on at the same time?

Go to www.prostreetlighting.com Look at the 893 Xenon bulbs. They are direct replacement for the stock 880s.
