High beam mod

I was wondering if there is a mod or flash that can make the fog lights stay on when you put the high beams on. On my Dakota R/T it did the same thing, but I figured out if you snipped one wire and flipped one wire around on the CTM (second computer) the fog lights stay on when you put your high beams on.

Would love to do this on the E.

Fog lights are for fog.

You would never use high beams in fog.

Purpose of high beams is distance vision. The near vision provided by fog lights is only a distraction when distance vision is needed.

But "cool" does so often override engineering and science.

2. Select Body
3. Select CGW-Central Gateway
4. Select Control Unit Adaptations
5. Select Read Coding and Change If Necessary

STAR DAS meaning the dealers handheld?

most shops that work on MBs will have a DAS system.
