I am not sure if this should go in modified tech or OEM tech but since it is a modification to an OEM setup I chose OEM tech.
I thought I would share a recent modification I made. It allows you to easily modify your factory fog light relay to allow your fog lights to remain on when your high beams are on. I have seen several questions about an easy way to do this and this is about the easiest.
Disclaimer: Please keep in mind modifying your vehicle in this manner may be illegal in some state where it is not permitted to drive with fog lights and high beams on at the same time, hence the reason for Jeep deciding for you when your fog lights are allowed on.
Reference: I originally found info about this mod at http://www.getahelmet.com/jeeps/tech/fogrelay/ so props go to Aaron.
Here is what I found and did.
Mod Performed on 2000 Jeep Cherokee with Factory fog lights.
(I believe this mod will work on all 1997 to 2001 Jeep Cherokees in the same manner.)
1. Locate fuse and relay box on passenger side of engine compartment.
2. Remove cover locate and pull out Fog Light Relay 1.
3. Bend tab #2 back as shown in picture below.
4. Reinsert relay, and enjoy the ability to run your fogs with your high beams.
Note: If you bend tab #2 on Fog Light Relay 2 you will lose your fogs altogether.
Hope this helps some people out.
