I thought about doing that too. A few days ago, I did the rewire and kept it so they turn off with the highbeams. Last night, I was trying to figure out why the fogs wouldn't work, and I was gettin kind of pissed because I thought I did a good job of splicing everything and then I realized that the high beams were on. That might be a good reason for me to do it

btw, the reason i was thinking about doing it with standard halogen bulbs is that when your highbeams are on, the light is further down the road, and having my fogs still be on would illuminate right infront of me aswell.
