Hey guys I was wondering if someone could help me out here. I rewired my foglights today, (aftermarket) and wired them into the headlights. I disconnected the low beams and brought the positive from the foglights up and matched it to the headlights. I turned my lights on and everything was working fine (low beams and fogs). Then I turned the high beams on and the entire passenger side went lights went out, but the driver side was fine.
 Then after turning the highs off my driver side low was fine but the passenger side high and low were both still on. Could this possibly be because there is not enough power to run the fogs along with everything else? Thanks

Should have run them to the running lights in your turnsignals or the fender lights.
