Default Fog lamps on with headlights?

I reacently purchaced a new 09 1500 LTZ. I am trying to get the fog lamps to come on when the headlights come on. Is there some sort of fix for this that doesn't reqire it to be rewired?

Thanks in advance.

Since the fog lamps only come on when the headlights are dimed, I would think that just leaving the foglamp swithed on would do what you want. If the lights come on and are on bright, of course the fogs would not be on but as soon as you dim the lights, they would be there. I'll try mine and see if it works that way.

This requires rewiring. I would like to avoid that if posible.

No rewiring. You just add a relay and crimp some wires together. Ill find the relay for ya.
