Did the fog light mod, now i have a question?

I did the fog light mod to my girls 00 Maxima SE. The fogs now work with the parking lights and headlights. But when the high beams are turned on the foglights shut off. How do I get around this? I cut the yellow wire with the 2 silver stripes on it and connected it to the corner marker light's red wire.

Thanks for any help

I think there aint a way around this, cause the high beam relay when is on, cuts the power to the fogs. This is to keep the load low. I know with my ESM and wiring diagrams, we could find a way, but it aint worth it.

Buy a Panasonic HID kit so you don't have highbeams; therefore, your fogs won't shut off! You won't need highbeams anyway, unless you like to flash people who have HIDs.
