Why do "passing lights" or side lights go off when Hi beam is used?

Is it not in the dimmer switch? I figured I could maybe move a wire on the dimmer switch so it doesn't kill the power to the "passing lights"
I want to still be able to turn them off with the toggle switch if I don't want them on with my high beam.
BTW, I just installed the Truck lite phase 7 lights on my RK. MONEY WELL SPENT!!!!!!

Here is a schematic on how to wire the passing lamps to keep them on with your high beams.... It was posted on the forum some time ago and I kept a copy. Haven't tried it yet so can't comment on the final product.

same difference
my 2011 GMC Sierra HD 2500
when you put on the high beams the fog lamps shut off
thou I never drive around with my fog lamps on ...
Uncle Sam thinks it's TOO MUCH LIGHT

it is fed dot law. motorcycles are only aloud to have 3 headlights. on old cars high and low beams were two different lights. low was on all the time,high came on to supplement. so now high beam is considered two lights. the running lights and hi would make 4 headlights and be illegal.

I am all for as much visibility as possible, if any of You all know, is there a modulator that can be put on the side lights to make them flash ? I think that would get some attention.

Stupid antiquated DOT regulation. My Tundra did the same thing, high beam turned off the fog lights. Ironically other countries regulate just the opposite; vehicles with lights on city or "low beam" can NOT have additional lighting. Switching to high ALLOWS additional lighting to function which makes more sense to me.

When you turn on high beams, you are trying to see further down the road. By turning OFF the fog/"passing" lights it helps by not washing out your long range vision with bright near field light.
