Though it is often illegal to rig fogg lamps so they come on with the high
beams, I rigged my fogg lamp switch so they came on either 1) LEFT POSITION
never when the switch is off, 2) MID POSITION only with the low beams (the
way you are *supposed* to rig it), or 3) RIGHT POSITION whenever the
headlight switch is turned to the driving light position (which would have
them come on with either parking lights only, or also co-incident with any
high beams or low beams).

It could take you 3 hours of heavy concentration to figure out how to make
it work this way elegantly or it could take me 1.5 hours to dig out my
wiring diagram and write up how I did it.
