Default Fog Light quick questions

Quick, probably easy question...but I can't find the answer. 06 Silverado z71. Is there a way to set the computer that each time the headlights, the fogs come on as well, instead of ALWAYS having to puch the damn fog button?

While I can't say this is legal or even advisable, why not wire them into the headlight switch?
You may need a relay to handle the extra amperage on a separate circuit.

there is no way to program the BCM to accomplish this.
The easiest way to do it would be to jumper the white wire(pin 4) at the headlight switch, to the orange wire(pin c) at the fog light switch. No relay required.

Now everytime the headlights are turned on, the fog lights will turn on and operate as they would as if the switch was pressed
