Default Headlights + Fogs in a 4th Gen

Okay, So i have seen a couple 4th gen 93-97 Camaros going around at night with their driving lights, hi-beams, and fog lights all on at once. I know that the car (at least my car) has something built into it so that this can't happen. Whenever I switch the hi-beams on, the fogs go off. Can anyone tell me how to by-pass this so I can have them all on at once?

Thanks!!

I was wondering this too

Also no intention to rob this thread, but its just along the same lines... how about being able to have fogs on without having headlights on?

if its different on the 98-02s, ill start a thread over there.

Its actually simple to do this, it is however illegal so proceed at your own risk. Almost all earlier GM vehicles ( newer vehicles involve the body control module and make this much more difficult ) us the low beam circuit to power up the fog light relay in the fuse block thus the fog lamps go off went you hit the hi beams.
Go to your fuse block and fog lamp relay find which circuit powers up when you turn on the low beams, disconnect and insulate that wire and then run another wire from one of the ignition on powered circuits to the terminal of the fog lamp relay. Make sure you use one that has a 20 amp fuse and is only hot with the ignition on.
Oncoming drivers will Love You for this modification.

you can just put your parking lights on and put the fog light switch to 'on' and there you go, but you cant have your parking lights off w/ the fog lights on, or at least i dont know how to have it like that.
