steve w. wrote i just have to ask why do you want fog lights on with the high beams. they will just screw up your long distance vision with the high beams on. the light closer to the vehicle will cause more reflected light up close and that will cause your eyes to close the pupils some. that will mean you now cannot see as far or as well as you could without them on. if you think im fos try driving at night with the dome light on. it will do the same thing. fog lights are meant for fog and limited visibility where you need to light up the road under the fog snow. for off road applicationsi need the highbeams on to luminate a wider area as well as in front of the truck and i need the fog lights to luminate up close and around the truck so i can see directly in front of the truck. for extended driving in the dark with the brights on if its not foggy out i would not have the fogs on and if it was foggy out i would not have the brights on anyways. fos no and actually i usually have my dash lit on the lowest setting while driving at night since i am usually more interested in the road in front of me instead of the pretty colors on the dash. .

i did some back searching and found a few old articles on this topic but need some more detailed info. i get the dodge click when i turn the key switch over and nothing happens. i wait a bit and try again and it will often start on the second try. i go out and clean wire brush all terminals posts cables boots reconnect and spray with clear lacquer to seal from air and it works ok for about one week and then the dodge click again. dealer wants about $500 to replace starter and solenoid. old article says plunger on starter dosent contact both contacts intermittently and causes the dodge click he says he replaced the contacts for about $12 but gives no details. he mentions that auto electric guy told him mopar starters have this problem. anyone else replaced these contacts in your starter do you need any special tools how long does it take what are the tests i need to do to make sure it has been done properly how much are the parts did it solve the dodge click problem is mopar the only make of starters/solenoid used on 95 dodges thanks and hope you dont get the dreaded dodge click on your truck. .

the fog kit from dodge has the relay coil hot side connected to the low beam 12 volt wire. i just pulled the headlight and connected it to the parking light 12 volt line instead. fogs work anytime parking light is on including high beam. but like the first reply said they have limited use with the high beam. turn them on and the area close to the truck is so bright that the high beam seems dimmer in the distance. high beam by itself works better to see the bambis eyes. i have the same situation as the original poster. purchased a used truck where a auxilary set of driving lights was added but they used the wiring from the standard fog lights. would like to use then on high beam only to help illuminate along side the road in teh winter to avoid hitting moose. but the way they are wired is they go off when the brights are used. scott .
