HID frog light conversion

Hi Y'all,

I'd like to convert the fog light portion of my urS6 headlights to 
use a HID light source.  The actual installation of the plasma source 
itself is pretty simple - just swap the plasma HID bulbs for the 
incandescent bulbs and use the signal for the existing bulbs to 
operate the HID bulbs.  However, in order for the lights to work well 
the HIDs need to stay on even when I shift from low beams to high 
beams (or for that matter even with the main lighting off).  The 
stock wiring system turns power to the frog lights off when the high 
beams are on or when the low beams are off.  The low beams are 
already converted to HID and the lights have Euro lenses.

How do I modify the wiring so that the frogs stay lit whenever the 
dash switch and the ignition are turned on?

Now don't scold me for wanting better fog lighting.  I live out in 
the boonies - WAY out in the boonies - and bright lighting is 
essential.  I'm not quite at the edge of the world but I can see it 
from my deck.

Bob
