It's been 22 years since I did my, but I put a jumper wire behind the headlight switch should be easy to figure out with a volt meter.

thats how i had done it on my 89 gt also.. just jumped the wire on the switch so the fog lights were hot when the marker lights came on.. only downfall is that your fog lights will always be on like this even with the headlights on.. so you wont be able to drive with only the headlights..

Regardless of you leave it stock or modify it, don't leave your fog lights on too long the switch will go bad

I always have my fog lights on. Shiet. I never shut off fog lights

Jus did it. Works great. Only concern is if anythin can go wrong? I jus took the marker light wire from headlight harness and jumped to power the fog light harness when i turn on marker lights.

Ok so today i had to actually do the relay fog light mod. When i jumped it, it created too much of a load for the fuse and kept popping. Good thing i had everything laying around so it cost me nothin but time and some beers. Satisfied i must say, fog lights stay on with just parking lights. Or even high beams. Great little mod

Unfortunately I never had the stock lights working to compare. They seem bright though and I have not had issues with cracking like I did on glass.

I did the same thing but my wires burned up on me on my way home with the switch melting together so I ran them all on there own and never had a problem since
