Default Factory Fog lights?

Ok so is there any way to make the factory fog lights independent, right now they only turn on when i have the headlights on, and they go off when u switch to highbeams, is there a simple way to make them turn on at all times with the push of the button?

you could always wire them straight from the battery and run them thru a switch by your panels on your left. that or wire them off your headlight wiring. but then they would be on when your headlights run.

just rewire one of the relay wires into a power source that turns on with the car or how most people have done it, to your parking lights.

you don't want to have it directly powered by the battery because you might forgot to turn off your fog lights... battery go byebye.. baddddddd..
