Default Odd lights issue

I have the TechArt fogs/ducts, and put in the DDM (?) 55W upgrade on the main lights.

When I turn on the fog lights, lights on low beam, all ok. I turn the lights on high, fogs go out (which I think is normal?), but when back on low beam the fogs stay off. Where do I start debugging?

Thanks,

Sounds like a wiring glitch. I just went out and checked it on my car, factory fogs turn on with low beams (or alone), turn off with high beams, automatically turn back on when I switch back to low beams. Can you turn on just the fogs without low beams on?

If no one here can help, I'd check with Carnewal, they might be able to help.

Possibly stuck or sticky relay?

Switch relays 31 and 34. See if that fixes it. If so, you have a bad relay.

An even better solution IMO is to remove relay 34, and jump terminals 3 and 5. That will keep the fogs on with the high beam.
