Question oem foglights independent switch

i've searched for an hour trying to find a diy for this... i just bought my oem style fogs @ procarparts.. and i heard that you can only turn on the foglights when the healight is on.. and when you switch to high beam it turns off.. well, i want to be able to use my fogs when im just using my parklights.. and when i turn off my lights it turns off also.. if this is a repost can you just give me the link coz i honestly cant find it...btw.. i also don't know whether to put this thread here or on the ice forum.. thanks in advance!

i would say buy a little switch from auto zone mount it on one of your pop out tabs next to your cigarette lighter and turn then on and off when you want to

i just installed OEM style fog light last weekend. it made by DEPO. so it come with all wires and OEM style switch. once everythin hook up "right", then u can turn it on/off, but must at least parking light is on, cuz you can't turn the fog light on by itself.

hope that help, Q let me know.

Okay, this sounds rediculous. Why wouldn't you be able to just hook up the power to the foglights to the battery or some easy wire that constantly has voltage? That way you could just turn the foglights themselves on whenever you wanted. If you wanted to hook them up to the parking lights, why not just hook the power to the parking lights? I just don't get what the issue is here, maybe I'd have to have foglights to understand....

Just wire them on a separate circuit, like installing neons or something.
