Would like to have the fog lamps operate from the park lamp operations

so fog lamps can be used alone with tail park and marker lamps, or with low beam as desired, by pulling the light switch out to headlamps

But would like the fog lamps to latch with a push button fed electrically from the parklamp circuit ,

 and become unlatched  when any of the following operations occur

(A) Operator pushs the fog lamp button      ( on or off as required )

(B) Operator selects high beam

(C) vehicle is shut off for the night

Reasons for request is to prevent fog lamps from defaulting to on and becoming propped to on when vehicle is started and operator forgets to shut off fog lamps when vehicle is parked for the night,

and left on with low beam when the weather is clear  

The system causes operator to have full control of the fog lamps and respects the eyes of the oncoming drivers

and be require driver  to manually reselect fog lamps when required

after starting the vehicle, after fog clears and high beam is selected

on and off when required

Instead of hooking to HOT hook to the Low  Beam wire in that spot. Power the Fog light coil with this circuit as the load.

Here is how it works. This circuit will get it's power from the low beam. when you push the start button the fog lights will come on. when you switch the high beams off the low beam goes out and the circuit looses power and shuts off the fog lights. When you switch back to low beams the fog lights will be off until you push start again. At any Time you can shut off the Fog lights by pushing the Stop button.
