Foglights AND DRL on 2SS

Hi Guys,
is there a possibility to retrofit the original light switch with fog light option to use these lamps? Is the necessary wiring harness already available?

I would like to be able to use both functions (daytime running lights and fog lights).

I have a 2SS convertible from 2011.

Greetings from Germany

There is a drl harness they sell that’s about $15-20 that just plugs in and it makes your fog lights and headlights to run all the time.

In Germany, it is unfortunately not allowed to always run the fog lights with the head lights. They have to be switchable and I would like to use the original switch for that.

Here in the states, I believe you can’t run the fogs with high beams.

I took apart my switch and took the tension off the big spring inside. Now my lights only go on when I want them to. By doing this it allowed me to use the light bars in the headlights as my drl's. So I can have my drl's on with low or high beams.
