I just installed the DD SS3 Pro Fog lights but I’d like to figure out how I can keep them on when my high beams are both off and on and obviously also while my low beams are on. Has anyone figured this out?

FORScan - it is referred to as "Bambi Mode".

some years ago while i was in the Navy i had a set up that i put in myself & Va failed my yearly inspection for that.

you may look into that to see if you can do it without an issue with local authorities.

just saying from past experience

Using FORScan you can turn on "Bambi Mode", and as mentioned above, be careful about what the local laws are. With Yellow lights, you will be restricted to when they can be on. With Bambi Mode you can still turn them on an doff with the switch.
I set mine on Bambi Mode, just the factory white lights however. I just keep them off when in traffic however.

Does anyone have instructions on how to put it into Bambi mode once I download for scan and get the right OBD connection?

Yellow lights are restricted? I'm not sure that's the case here in Minnesota, at least not when I search through the statutes. So maybe that's a local thing, or even a Canadian thing?

Here at least, the law is about having no more than 2 sets of forward facing driving lights on at any time. So allowing the fogs to stay on with the high beams would result in 3 sets, and thereby violate that aspect. Your laws may differ though obviously.

I've enabled this mode and it is very nice. My thought process is if you only use this mode when no one else is around, which should be the case with high beams anyways, then you shouldn't really have anything to worry about as far as "getting caught".
