Default Fog lights always on 02 Tahoe

Is there any way to reverse the way the fog lights work on my 02 Tahoe. I would like them to always come on with the parking lights rather than having to push the button every time. Is this possible? Thanks!

The fog lights are controlled by signals processed thru the Body Control Module (a small computer), there is no easy way to accomplish what you desire unless an aftermarket company has designed an interface.

cut the wires and hard wire them to you low beams.....so they come one when the low beams come on, and off when you hit high beams...or wire them into your park lights whichever works for you...or change out the switch to one you can leave on all the time

If you listen to this guy and start cutting and splicing wires I promise (make that guarantee) that you will have more electrical problems with your Tahoe then you can shake a stick at.

Ive done this lots, almost all my cars/trucks, its not very hard....... how do you think most people add off road lights, and most people dont replace the GM fog lights with GM fog lights when they break, to expensive and they suck...

You could also just set a relay and attach it to what ever system you want the fog lights to come on with.

That away your not injecting a voltage or gnd into the control module.

I would like them to come on with the parking lights unless a switch is turned off. Similar to how they work in Camaros. In Camaros they have a toggle switch where as long as the switch is in the on position they come on with the parking lights.
