dont think its possible unless you re-wire them.

on my '12 i can run them w/ the parking lights (only).

I added some additional A-Pillar driving lights and triggered them w/ a relay to turn on w/ the parking lights (if i want)....
so to run my A-pillar lights, all i need is to turn on my parking lights & then turn on the switch to the A-Pillar lights.

I don't know if its a universal law but in PA, it is illegal to have fog lights on with high beams.

You can! All you have to do is cut them loose from the OE harness. Then you can wire them to do what ever you want.

You can re-wire them to your accessory switch in your fuse box so they will come on any time you want as long as your key is in the acc. Position. Although when I did it I was installing aftermarket lights, you may need to do some research for factory lights.

I just rewired mine when I added windshield lights, added switches on the left dash right above the lower speakers, relays near the battery, wiring ran to the lights. It's pretty easy to do. There's a diagram floating around out there for adding lights, would be the same concept. Now with the fogs, headlights, windshield lights, and front bumper hoop lights I'll add all on different switches I can do all sorts of fun light shows driving down the road...

i would think there would be an DIY write up on how to bypass the highbeams cutting them off when applied. I myself would like to keep the original setup on the turn signal stalk.

Haven't looked for jk , but check out a brite box on google. Had one on my ram 2500. Allows brights while fogs stay on. Plug and play. Did not see option for jk after 06 but might call. http://www.thoroughbreddiesel.com/th.../brite-box.htm
