okay, so i have this much information for now- wiring diagram to follow (hopefully)

With the ignition switch in the ON position, and the park lamps or low beam headlights ON, the fog lights will illuminate when the driver presses the fog lamp switch. The FRT FOG fuse in the underhood fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the switch side of the FRT FOG relay. When the fog lamp switch is pressed, the body control module (BCM) fog lamp switch input is grounded. Ground is provided at G203. The BCM will then energize the FRT FOG relay control circuit. The current flow is now from the FRT FOG relay to both front fog lamps and to ground. Ground is provided at G101 and G102. The state of the fog lamps , either ON or OFF, will remain the same until the fog lamp switch is pressed again, or the ignition switch is cycled OFF and ON. Fog lamp operation will be cancelled whenever the park lamps, are turned OFF or the high beam headlights have been selected.

to me it sounds like we can just prevent the fogs from grounding out when the hi-beams are on
