I know this is probably a lame question and it really doesnt matter...but i was wondering

i have a 95 SE 240, and when i click on the bright beams, the fog lights cut off...is this how its supposed to work...or do i have a wiring issue somewhere??

thanks in advance,

im not sure dude, but i think you are not supposed to have your fogs on when on high beams, so maybe everything is the way its supposed to be (As far as safety).

Yes, it's supposed to do that. The high beams are pretty bright as is so I guess Nissan decided to cut off power to the fogs when the brights are engaged. I think the fog lights on S14s are for aesthetics anyway.

Yeah, thats pretty much how most fog lights act. When I installed my foglights in my S13, I wired them like that just so they looked more professional.

I'm pretty sure its illegal (atleast in CA) to have your high beams AND fog lights on.

just about everything is illegal here(CA), but all cars with factory foglights will turn off when the high beams are activated
