Has anyone ever tried?

Has anyone out there re-wired their foglights or switch to use them with just the parking lights on? I'd love to be able to turn them on/off without having to only have the option to turn them on only when the headlights.

Something I absolutely love
I asked the same question a few years ago and I think the answer was that it wasn't possible. Then again, it was two or so years ago, maybe someone has come up with a fix.

Hmm, I have fogs in my '99ml430 installed thru the factory harness and my service advisor turned on the option so my dash switch operates the fogs with only the running lights on or headlights too. I also believe that in my '05 ml500 they operate the same as my '99.. on with running lights only (if I want).

The Fogs come on with either the running lights or the low beam headlights on my 98ML but only with the low beam headlights on my 05ML.
