It would also allow mw to have the low and high on at the same time.

    Once DRL's are activated, they can not be deactivated.
    Not sure if I'm following you. You basically want to swap your hi beam and fog light harness so you control fogs with high switch and highs w/ fog???

    As far as having hi and low on at the same time, that's how it is from the factory. When you turn your hi-beams on your lows stay on but your fogs power off.

    roughly speaking yes, that would put my drl's on the fogs.
    If I remember correctly, I will check, the lows go off when high's come on. I do not have the factory connect to the fogs.

    Someone from Texas ;o) on the other forum once said that he was able to activate fogs for DRLs using an aftermarket programmer instead of going to the dealer. You might not have to mess with the wiring at all.

    The lows stay on when the highs come on.

    Do you want the fogs on with the dlr's or do you JUST want the fogs to be the dlr's?

    If I read this correct the question is that you want the fogs as your DLR, if so yes it can be done with out having to mess with the wiring. When the Dealer sets up the DLR the choice is the fog's or the Hi beams (at least from what the dealer told me) this is new with the resent star scan upadate.
