Question Fogs Flash With Headlights?

Have seen few scoobs about lately when flashing/waving at them, who's fog lights flash with the main beam. Hows this done looks awsome? Surely if you bridge the relay controll lines together, the main beam would come on when you switch on the fogs, Not good if its foggy!!

Probably the scoobs you have seen have driving lights and not foglights. However if you connect a live feed from your full beam to your foglight relay then they will come on with full beam and bypass the foglight switch. They will still also come on with the foglight switch if switched on manually.
Think about it.

As above probably driving light conversion.

But you can bridge the relays together and use a Diode in the wire between the foglamp and main beam relays so the foglamp switch won't turn on the main beam.

New age fog light relay is fourth one down on a block of five or six relay sockets clipped onto the left hand side of the main fuse box by your right knee.
