How to change the Light behavior

Hey guys, i want to change how the Lightsystem in my 2010 Camaro works.



1st. When i have Fog light enabled and switch to high beam, the fog lights go off but i want them to stay on.


2nd. The fog light (if not enabeled) work as corner light, so i can see the apex better


3rd. Taillight reconfiguration: In normal conditions the most outer Tail lights are allways on and also the brake light. The inner were made to orange turn indicators and i want them to be normal red tail lights and only if i turn on the turn signal it switches from red to orange flashing and the other side stays red.


So is there a way to do it? and if so, how? The first two things could be done by reprogramming and the third, i dont know if i need a new tail light for it.

2 and 3 are rather complex. I don't think anyone could help without a circuit diagram. Most everyone here is in the US, so our taillights don't have this configuration.



As far as #1 - I made a similar change on my '93 Ford Probe. It was configured to turn off the fog lights when the headlights were off. I rewired the fog light switch, so that the incoming power came from a fuse block connection that was always on when the car was on. That car had a relay for the lights, so the switch didn't need high power. You might look to connect it to the circuit for the cigarette lighter socket. First make sure at the switch that power is indeed removed from the switch input when the high beams turn on. That might be happening somewhere else.



Maybe someone else here has a circuit diagram that could help.

I believe cars are wired this way per law.

This is in regards to the fogs on with high beams. That’s why I highlighted your quote in bold. Pretty sure it is law here in the states. Not sure over by you.
