fog light override for non-rs?

first of all what does the fog light switch actually do in a non-rs in the daylight, nighttime, with auto light control/off.

ad is there a way to modify the relays so i can turn the fogs on/off at any time whether the drls(head light) are on or not?

In auto light control off mode, pressing the foglight switch will still turn on the foglights and parking lights.

I took the spring out of my headlight switch to keep my DRLs from coming on (bad for HIDs). I keep the headlight switch in the off position and manually turn on my lights. Even with the knob in the off position, I am able to turn on/off the foglights as I desire without the DRLs coming coming on.

I have a 2010 model, so I don't know if the 2013s are setup the same.

Last time i could check a non-rs (it was a 2012) the fog light switch just turned the fog lights on and off regardless of day or night time or auto light control.

ok well the issue I have is that the fogs turn off when HI-beams are turned on (non-rs). I want them to stay on even when the HI beams are on

That is a normal condition. If you want fogs + high beams you will have to wire your foglights through a separate switch.
