Default is it possible to have the fogs to work as brights as well?

just like the subject says.. got a 02 Trans Am and I was just wondering if it would be possible to have the fogs to work AS brights as well. That way I could flash to pass someone up even at day time when my lights are down.

Also it would look cool if the the fogs brightened up higher when the brights were used (that way you could have a lot of good bright light when you need it!).

I dont think its duable because the fogs have just a single bulb which might be hard to do.

This is just a quick thought. I just want to know if its duable.

Thanks

I know that you would have to change the fog bulbs in order for them to brighten. i do not know about firebirds since they have flip up lights, but it is fairly easly to make the fogs and the brights on at the same time in a camaro. all i did was use a relay and use the high beams to close the coil of the relay. when the coil in closed it connects the fogs and a 12v source and the fogs light up. when the brights are off the coil opens and the 12v is disconnected from the fogs and the lights turs off. this is how i did it on my camaro and i think that is should be the same on the firebird.

hope that this helps
