Default oem foglights, how to re-wire to be always on with switch on?

Dammit, I know it's a "feature" of the oem system that the fogs turn off with the brights on, or only parking lights on, but I'd like to have them on with my brights, or with only my parking lights, and not just when the lowbeams are on.

anyone changed their setup to do this?

the OEM foglights turn off when your brights turn on, or if you only have your parking lights on. they only turn on with the switch if your low beams are on, and your key is in the ignition. the key in the ignition thing is fine with me, i just want to be able to have them on with my highbeams and also with just my parking lights.

Arggh... my parents live in Montgomery County, and my wife and I will be moving back there next summer. Wish I was there now to have you help me! Any tips on doing it myself?
