Thats a good question. I would also like to do a mod like that.

Yes, pull the blinker stalk back and hold it. The fogs and high beams will be on together. Of course the high beams go out when you let go.

In New Jersey you will fail motor vehicle inspection if your driving/fog lights do not go out when you turn on your high beams.

A programmer/chip deal will set it up for you I believe. And with it you can go back too if in NJ so you can pass inspection.

The link below shows one method, though my inspiration was so that fogs would come on without separate action of pulling the factory column switch but rather illuminate whenever parking lamps are selected:

I don't have to worry about an inspection. There has to be an easy way to do this. The high beams are horrible.

You can have your lights work any way you want if you are willing to do the mod. I can set you up so they work factory or with a switch.

Might want to re-think this if you plan to use this "bypass" for on road use. You may get a ticket in an area that this is illegal even though it's allowed where you live.
