I'm using LEDs on the outside cause its a pain to crack open the lights and have to replace them everytime something happens. I know this cause thats how my current headlights are setup

Drunkie - I'll try my best to remember that your car is a Pontiac, not an Audi, at Maxus.

There will never be a driving situation where you would need both foglights and highbeams on. Remember, foglights are designed for a specific purpose - to provide low and wide lighting to be able to see the edges of the road and the lane markerswhen you are crawling along at 10-20mph in heavy fog. It's illegal to use foglights if it is not foggy out. Most people will tell you some BS that foglights help add width to your lowbeams (which they don't), or provide extra distance lighting (which they don't), or are just "auxiliary low beams" (which they aren't).

If it isn't foggy, it is illegal to drive with your foglights on.

High beams, OTOH, are meant for high speed driving in clear weather.

If it's foggy and you're driving slow, you need foglights, and high beams are useless.

If it's clear and you're driving fast, you need highbeams, and foglights are useless.

Because of this, DOT regulations state that it is illegal to have foglights and highbeams on at the same time. In addition, some states regulate a maximum of four lights on the front on simultaneously. To comply with both of these laws, almost every car turns the fogs off when the highbeams turn on.
