Re: TJ Bright Lights Not Working....
My fog lights are factory and have their own switch under the radio
area. I was just saying that the fog lights and headlights both shut
off when I turn the bright lights on. Like I said, I'm stumped. Thanks
for the advice though. I do appreciate your assistance on this.

Re: TJ Bright Lights Not Working....
The fogs have a tag on the power relay so they will not turn on when the
high beams are on so that is perfectly normal and shouldn't have
anything to do with your trouble.
And just maybe you also have 2 burned out bulbs? It happens more often
then folks think.
The click and bright warning light on implies the switch is working.
I would take a multimeter, even a cheap $2.00 one and see if there is
voltage to the headlight plug when the high beams are on. If no power,
then I would suspect the relay is dead, if power, the bulb is burned.
