Why Fog Lamps don’t work with High Beams…

I know coding can resolve this and that high beams aren’t meant for fog, but anyone know why fog lamps don’t remain on with high beams?

Fog lamps provide additional lighting that should remain on if maximum lighting is desired, no?

its a safety feature relating to the combination of lights (projecting into the fog) and reflection. Fog lights are aimed low for a reason, you're not supposed to use high beams in the fog because it just creates glare

Its actually a law in most states, highs on, fogs off
