Spots on main beam/flash
Doesn't matter if they are fogs or spots, you can still do it.
Only difference is that if they are fogs, it's a total waste of time
:
Have a look at the fogs/spots. Do they have lots of vertical lines in the glass so that you can't see the bulb properly, and are branded "Subaru"? They do? then you have fogs.
They don't? Do they have FAR fewer vertical lines, so that you can see the bulb, and are branded PIAA, or Cibie, or Hella? You have drives.
You can wire either to come on with main beam, with drives it's a legal requirement, or rather that they go off when the main beam does.
Post again if you want instructions. Cost is about £10 plus an hour or so of your time.

OK
Remove fogs, and tape up the supply leads.
Buy a standard 4 terminal relay, preferably one with a fuse incorporated, about 6 metres of 28/030, and about a couple of metres of 14/030 wire, colours not important. If you can't get a relay with fuse, also buy a fuse holder and fuse, blade type.
fuses need to be 10A if you use 55W lights, and 20A if you use 100W.
You will also need about a dozen spade terminals, female, with covers, 4 ring terminals, and one piggyback terminal.
Take a length of 28/030 measured to go from your battery +ve to whererver you will site the relay. put a ring terminal on the battery end, but do not connect yet.
Put a spade on the other end, and connect to relay terminal 30. or via fuse holder if your relay has no fuse.
Now take a length of thinner wire, 14/030, and connect one end to relay terminal 85, scotchlok the other end to the FEED to your headlight mainbeam: on mine it's the top wire on the connector, and is yellow.
You can check using a simple circuit tester like the ones sold that look like a screwdriver with a wire coming out of the handle.
Take another thin wire from relay terminal 86 to battery -ve via a ring terminal.
Now connect TWO thicker wires from terminal 87, (you may need a "piggyback" terminal here), one to each foglight/spotlight feed, and another pair from the foglight/spotlight earths to battery -ve, again, a ring terminal on each.
Get someone to help. Have them select main beam, and check that the relay clicks each time mainbeam is selected/deselected.
When it's working, connect that first ring terminal, (from relay terminal 30, remember,??) to battery +ve, and away you go.
