S2K: Yeah it activates high beams when my other one is turned right two times.

Howarmat: Yes that is true we require day-time running lights all the time.

Hopefully you don't intend on driving at night with your fogs instead of your headlights. The fog lights throw a shorter and wider pattern than the headlights meaning you won't see far enough ahead to match your stopping distance at any significant speed.

There is nothing else you can try? Like turn it all the way to the right, pull it out, and then turn it back?

you can rewire them so they come on independently. If all else fails, buy a headlamp switch for $8 from america, and install it

The only place I would drive like that at night would be in the city. places with street lights.

In america, at least in the east coast, having your fogs on in a stang means your willing to race[sm=bounceybounce.gif]

IDK about your fogs, but I believe ford called mine Driving Lights, and I only use them. My headlights are tinted, and with upgraded bulbs in the d/l's, and a comparison, dims barely barely out shine the d/l's
