Looking for wiring diagram... re-wiring fog with high beams

Like the topic says....I want to have my fog lights working with the high beams and also disable/bypass the daytime running light module on my car so I'm looking for some wiring diagrams.

Thanks!

EDIT: I remember an org member having a link in is signature pointing how to make the fog lights working with the high beams on...it was just 1 wire near the upper steering colunm cover or thing like that and only one wire to cut and ground...anyone remember??

Cheers!

I might be missing something, but having the fogs and the high beams on at the same time is kinda overkill don't you think? Also counter-productive. The fog lamps are "technically" to be used when it's foggy and as anyone knows who has turned on their high beams in the fog, it's like putting up a wall infront of your car. Granted, I know some of us tend to drive with the fogs on 100% of the time, but, how often do you drive with your brights on really? The foglight rewire for the parking lights seems more of a mod that a lot of guys do if they're going for the "look".

Just a friendly opinion.

Yup you're absolutly wright on this one. The thing is I'm doing a lot of night driving so I'm changing those fog lights for projector type driving lights.

Pics here: http://public.fotki.com/saucisse/pro...riving_lights/

The light output is more powerfull and beam pattern isn't the same at all. I'm also going to re-wire theme because I don't want to burn the harness but still want to use the original fog light switch.
