Your OEM fogs are hardwired to the Highs. I doubt that. Its probably Illegal in every state and I doubt MINI sold it that way.

Do you mean hardwired to the Low Beams? If so, thats also probably the law in most every state and MINI wont touch it.

Howdy,

I believe he means DRIVING lights, not fog lights......the extra large, grill-level lights. These are wired BY LAW to only be available for use when the high beams are on. For obvious safety reasons.

ahh, well, if he is talking about driving lights, as you said, leave them alone. If you change the wiring, most likely, your breaking some transportation law in your state.
