How do you keep foglights on all the time?

Does anyone know how I can change the wiring on the foglights so they stay on all the time. When I hit my brights they turn off, and I want em on all the time. They make wiring kits for many vehicles but not for F-Body's that I could find. If anyone has any ideas please chime in.

You have to cut a wire in the fuse box under the hood and take it to a ground. I took it to a bolt holding the fender on, but I don't remember which one. (It was on my first car) I'm sure if you looked at the wiring diagrams you could make sense of it.

I used this write up, http://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=721694 and now my fogs stay on when the brights turn on, but the headlights turn off completely! Anyone have any ideas?

I'm pretty sure I just cut one wire in mine, look for a wiring diagram for this and you can figure out which one you need to cut. You're going to take one wire to the bolt that holds the fender on so it is grounded all the time, not just when the highs are turned on, if I remember correctly (I'm 95% sure) it is under the fuse box like they show you on that one.

If anyone else knows more about this please correct me if I'm wrong. It's been two years since I did this and it only took 5 minutes so it's not really sticking in my mind.

To the OP, if I had this mod on my current car I'd go out and take pics and let you see how it's done, I'm going on memory.

That is what I did, I cut the green wire coming out of the fog light relay, and grounded the relay side of it, and capped off the other end of the wire with some tape.

I'm not sure which wire it is. I think someone else said the green wire, but the wiring could be different from year to year and the ls1 lights might be different from the lt1 style lights, if I get some time this weekend when I'm home I'll try to figure it out.

I just did a lot of research on it and the green wire is the only one you have to change, so I wouldn't know what your problem is with it. I'm not good with electrical in a car, so maybe someone else can help.
