Fogs as DRL Hack?

My (ugly) fogs are constantly on and it's annoying as sh*t. The only time they turn off is when the high beams are turned on.

Finally getting around to trying to fix the issue. Took apart the headlight switch assembly and checked all parts. Everything was clean and seemed to be in working order. Looked at the fuses to see if there was a jumper wire but didn't see one. Pic is attached.

Anyone have any ideas of how to get them off? My car is not Canadian.

Thanks in advance.

Travis

Check the relay and switch with a multi meter for continuity

Ok, thanks. I'll have to have my neighbor help me since I'm not quite sure what I'm doing with that. I'll let you know results.

You can always just reroute the power wires from the fog lights to a separate switch to turn them on and off at will. You would do that right at the actual plug on the back of the fogs.
