TTS McC,
Let me know how you wire it up. I would like them to work correctly. Sounds like
some more BB creative thinking, like the backwards wiring on the trailer plug.

Kurt,

Apparently, fog lights and driving lights are two different concept.
While my dash switch reads, "Driving/Fog Lights," I found that they
only worked with HIGH beams on. This configuration is
considered "Driving" lights.

I always used "Fog" lights with low beams. My Driving/Fog lights do
not work with Low beams. In fog, therefore, they are useless. Since
I rarely travel with High beams, I am having them switched to work as
normal "Fog" lights with low beams. To each his own.

idea why my fog lights only work when the high beams are on? Turn on
the dash switch for the fog lights, nothing! They only work with the
driving lights on high beam. Recently, I took the headlight switch
apart to firm up the contacts, the running lights were going in and
out. I didn't check to see if the fog lights were connected to the
main switch, but there are four wires connected to it. Any help would
be great.

them using a relay and a seperate switch. I use them for day
recognition lights. That way none of the other electrical lighting
system is on. When I need light at night as I recently did in a dark
campground in the GA mountains I have Ten lights shining. I hope no
one wants to sleep. lol 6 halogen headlights, 2 driving lights and 2
spot lights. Turn on the landing lights and the world lights up.
