Default Have Highs/Lows and Fogs on at same time?

Hey guys, is there a way to have all your lights on at the same time?(lows, highs and fogs). I was thinking of rewiring so the fogs come on with the lows, and the fog light switch(the one you pull out) would turn on the highbeams. But then all the lights would be running off the low beam circuit. I did search, and i dont want to start the car on fire, is there an easier way other than adding extra switches?

If you run the lows and fogs then pull the MFS toward you as if you are clicking the highs on, but don't click it, they will all be on. I think

What is it you are going for, is it that you want the fog lights to be on, when you have your brights on? I don't understand why would you want your high beams, and low beams on at the same time? What possible purpose would that serve?

If you just want your fog light on...

I went with this one...... (wired my fogs to the parking lights, when they are on my fogs are on, and no extra switches)

i know i sound crazy, but i think it would be cool to have all lights on at the same time...its so bright when i have the lows and the fogs on, then pull on the mfs and the highs come on!

Yea u can have all the lights on at the some time it is a pain in the ass to do. all u have to do is pull the mfs back hafe way untill u see the fog light indactor and the high beam indactor on do not click it all the way back and if u do it right all of the lights should stay on. the bad thing is win it tryed it about 5 mins later the fuse blowed on me driving down the interstate so i would not recommend do this you could mess something up big time

i know that i can pull back halfway on the mfs, but thats a pita when your driving down a twisty mountain road, so i was trying to figure out a way of having all of the lights on and both hands on the wheel/shift when needed...i have the projector headlights, but if some of you have been melting the plastic with high beams on, i might not want to do it then.

yea if u do it right you do not have to hold the mfs switch back
so u can use one hand for the steering wheel and one for the shifter

You'll be lucky if you only blow fuses. The headlamps draw a significant amount of current and trying to run low beams, driving lights, and high beams is asking to overheat the wiring harness. And the steering column wiring already has issues on some cars. If you really wanted to have everything running at once you'd need to completely rewire all the lights and drive them through a relay directly off the battery.
