Our old Miata had a switch that could be turned on and would physically stay on with the headlights even after restarting the car - can the ST fogs be wired on?

Strange.. When I turn on my fog lights, they come on every time the headlights come on until I turn them back off.

Same here

well shoot - checked again - you guys are correct LOL

How about wiring the fog lights so they work with the hi-beams or headlights off? I did this the old fashioned way on my last car, just wired the +12 to a circuit on with the ignition on, so it shouldn't drain the battery with the key out.

This new ford I don't want to start rewiring if there's a simple computer solution.

Any advice?

having fog lights on with High beams in PA where I live is illegal... I think it is in most states... however, if you turn your parking lights on you can run parking lights + fogs at the same time. I doubt there is a computer solution.. but I dont see why you need it.

You can use the FOCCCUS app to make the fogs stay on with the High Beams. I did it to mine. Mine is a 13 so my fogs don't come on with my headlights. I have to physically turn on the fogs every time which is a pain in the a$$.

i'm suprised thats a possiblity.. but i guess there are many other things you can do that are against the law too like putting a catless dp on.. which i intend on doing shortly lol

Lol, you and hacking up your car. FoCCCus is your friend buddy. Don't go snipping wires because everything on this car runs on CANBUS and if you snip or splice the wrong wire, you are in for a headache! Most things like this on this car can be accomplished via software.
