    Shouldnt be too difficult, I can pull up some wiring diagrams if you want...or I can at least try to find them. I've got the WRX shop manual somewhere.

    because they are "fog" lights and in the fog high beams are supposed to be a no no if i remember correctly. so it would be pointless to ride with your high beams in a fog kinda conter productive

    I also kinda wonder if it would overload the circuit and blow the fuse. I don't know about the WRX, but on my STI, the low beams stay on when the high beams are on. So, if all three were on, that could pull too much juice. If I have to, I will run a new circuit. You won't want to come around a corner and have the front of my car in your face with all three on...talk about blinding. Actually, the real reason I want them is because I would like to be able to drive around with just the parking lights and fogs on.
