Hello.
You might be best wiring in a seperate switch and also using a in line fuse and switched relay..
They wouid become more fit for purpose then..

Hi mate,

As oldhammer says, they shouldn't really be wired in the way you have done.

However, the fault your experiencing (dipped beams going out when full beams are activated) is a known common fault with dirty contacts in the stalk switch. I would do as oldhammer suggests first, as if this problem has started straight after you fitted the fog lights, however if the problem persists, or was there before the fog lights were installed, then it needs to be remedied by other means.

have you tried fitting a fog switch from another punto? often the wires are all there all you need is the lamps you have and the switch.

high beams should never be used in fog so dont wire fog lights to them
