Default Running Fog Lights w/ Parking Lights

Hey everyone! I have thought about doing this before but the other day I was driving around town around dusk and a Mustang GT pulled up behind me running only his fogs with the parking lights. When I saw him I realized that I want to do that. I have searched a bit and can't find anything, so I may be completely missing something, but how would I do this? I have the Street Scene fog light setup. Any info is appreciated, Thanks!

is the street scene fog light setup not running through the mustang fog switch? because all he is doing is running his parking lights and turning his fogs on instead of switching all the way across... used to do it all the time in my camaro and Commander,,, I don't have fogs on the stang

The fogs lights can be on with the running lights.
Its the OEM Ford way its configured...

Here is the process to set it up like that.
1. Turn your clearance lights on
2. Pull the headlight switch out for Fog Lights.

Now running the fogs WITHOUT the clearance lights is a different story
and requires modification of the GT headlight switch internally....

Define 'street scene' set-up?
Thats not a commonly known set-up as they can be wired
different ways with that wiring harness...

PM Afixer. If you have the Stree Scene switch I believe there is a way to wire the fogs to come on with the running lights. Easiest way is to just get the GT switch. Afixer knows how to do it for sure.

I just put in a GT switch, and as mentioned, when the parking lights are on, simply pull the switch out to turn on the fog lights.

Well, I guess I'll just get the GT switch in then. I guess the solution was easier than I thought. Thanks guys!

Oh, and how would I switch over to the new switch?

Change the SS harness to positive common relay coil
and ground it with the GT fog light terminal for them to come on.
Now do you want the high beam/fogs off feature like OEM?

Ok, thanks! I don't really need the high beams and fogs on at the same time, thanks though.
