Connect Fog lights to main beam

Hi

I want my front fogs to come on with the high beam. Any clues. It's an 03 4.6is.

Thanks

They are not supposed to come on with the high beams, this is how they are setup.

I solved this problem by decoding the LCM to euro standart. Cause in cars suited for non american use you can switch on high beams together with the fog lights.

Hi what software did you use?

I was thinking it only needs a link between the high beam relay & the fog lamp relay? At worst it'd need a relay between them to stop high beam coming on when the fogs were switched on. Also it could be switchable to reset to factory settings for MOT time or whatever?

Just thought it might have been done on here before.

A programmer that did the operation used INPA software.

you mean NCS. the correct string is

FL_UND_NSW_NICHT_GLEICHZ
nicht_aktiv

set it to

FL_UND_NSW_NICHT_GLEICHZ
aktiv

FL - Low Beam
UND - And
NSW - Front Fog Lamps
NICHT - Not
GLEICHZ - Together

dont know if it still works, but it worked on my e39. go to retrofit coding via e32 on progman, and select e53, and select rear fog lamps, and the coding will be set to active.

I wonder if this conversion will burns your headlights system.

Fog lights by nature are not supposed to work with high beams as high beams are not optimal for driving in fog. Low beams and fog lights only when driving in that situation.
