I am looking on how to rewire the fog/driving lights so they stay on with the high beam. Currently they switch off when you select high beam,

Maybe its a Canadian regulation not sure if its with the USA models.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
G

They were all like that. Anton said he had a wiring diagram, not sure if he ever posted it here or not. That was a while back.

I found this by searching "High Beam Ground" in Z32 technical:

I plan to do it eventually as well. I think this will allow fogs to stay on all the time as well, but it allows lows and highbeams to stay on together, essential for HID installations.

Here is another one dealing with the pod wiring

I'm not sure if the second method would keep the lows on with the highs if the fogs were off.

Thanks BigTDogg,
I just did the wiring using the second method with the pod wiring. I works great, a small correction in the color of the wire. It is green with a silver stripe and is connected to Pin 17 of pod connector M25. I used a 6in piece of #18 solid wire and inserted into the M25 connector so it nudged up against the pin. I used the ground on the Lighting Switch Connector M26 Black wire on Pin 1. Looped the wire back with the harness wire and secured with a couple of tye wraps. No splicing or soldering required
Thanks

It works exactly as described in the article, cant wait to try it out
