Using installed Rear Fog Lights as Fog + Extra Brake Lights. Possible?

[averyocooper]

(I *think* this may have been posted before but I searched with no sucess)

I just got the rear fog lights I installed activated at the dealer and wanted to see if it was possible to wire the lights to activate when I hit the brakes as well.

To be clear, I would like the lights to activate when:
1- I flip the toggle and activate the rear fogs according to the built in software restrictions (front fogs and parking lights must be on or low beams must be on)
2- I hit the brakes at any time regardless of the toggle status (rear fogs on or not)

Is there a way to do this with a little tinkering?

Thanks in advance,

try a search on these forums, its been done and sicussed several times, a search for diode and/or rear fog* should probably do it.

I thought the instructions might be different if the fogs are activated. i guess not. thanks.
