Default High beams & fog lights??

Has anyone modded their JK to make the fog lights stay on when the high beams are switched on?

i did this on my z28 it involved tapping into the relays and jumping some wiring would be similar on a jeep im sure there are online details just google you will have to remove the tipm to access the wiring and i wouldnt hack up wires on a newer vehicle esp if its still under warranty my car was a 94 and it wasnt as involved electronically as the jks are jmo

Yea I had a low/high beam jump on my 97 Chevy 1500, and loved it. It may be as simple as a jumper?

I don't know if it's that simple but I'd like to know also if someone can chime in. If no one does I may try to find out myself this week. No time right now though.

There is only one way. You have to cut them loose and rewire them like aftermarket lighting.

I'm assuming because its a computer controlled circuit right? is there anyway to reprogram it using a programmer.

Only if you know a programmer willing to try and hack your computer. To do so commercially would be illegal.

I haven't done it yet but was looking into taping into the factory switch on the light switch not at the fog light as a trigger for my hid relay kit to see if it still stays on with high beams, it it works any one can buy a $15 relay kit to run the stock fogs or hid kit with high beam on
