a lot states have a law against running your brights with foglights... it's an OLD law... Oregon limits the amount of lights facing forward to 4 on at any one time... so if you have different bulbs for low and hi and the low's stay on... then there's your 4. many have laws against using fog lights during day time and clear weather.

your right it's a factory thing though. it's usually one of the first things people "fix" on the tacoma's.

What fuse do you bend? Jeeps wants to know is it a relay instead of a fuse? I have a jeep and would love to have the fog with high beams. It's dark out here in the sticks and there's always critters in the road.

It's a relay, not a fuze. Not sure which one it is with Jeeps though.

My friend's Chevy 4x4 has four headlights. When the high beams go on the low beams go off. We got a wiring kit off ebay that is plug and play. Contains the wiring, plugs, and relays. Took more time trying to get to the wiring than it did to complete it. Now the low beams stay on when the brights go on. Four lights now glow on high. If you don't use a relay, the wiring can burn.

I didn't realize how easy it was to mod to get the fogs to stay on no matter whatthe hedlights are doing. Remove a relay, bend a prong out, attach a fuzes wire to the one bent prong and plug it into the EFI fuze spot. The K&N intake howls nicely, too. I gotta get an exhaust for it now.

I never usually mod my 4-wheeled vehicle because I spend that money on my bike, but I had to jump on all the stuff for only $200. It adds up to $500+ if I bought all of it new.
