Default How to make fog lights stays on automatically?

I want to have my headlights and fog lights link together without pressing the fog light button everytime. Can someone tell me how?

Instead of pressing fog lights button can it be turned on automatically with headlights? Anyone?

To each their own I suppose, but why? The fog lights are for use in fog, not some cosmetic thing. Having them on all the time is a waste of lamp life and increases your fuel consumption. BMW had a good idea making it so you have to turn them on when you need them, rather than using a hard switch and letting them always be on.

I agree those things also get super hot! The fogs are not that bad when on and driving in no fog. What I think really sux are the rear fog lights some cars have and people driving with them on when they are not needed. They are nearly blinding to cars in the rear. It almost makes you want to turn on your brights and just follow them...
