You might have too wire them separately. A small switch would be best. But you can wire the driving lights in to the fog lights.. Use a separate fuse or an inline fuse so you don't over heat the stock wiring!! Also have an electrical test light, they are very handy when finding hot wires:) But id suggest just using a switch with 14 gauge wiring or thicker.. Hope this helps
I would start with replacing the head light switch
Check for bad ground
The headlights run on a different fuse from all other lights. Locate and check this fuse. Also the headlight switch may have a circuit breaker inside and after time it will get weak and not reset. Check for power to the switch and if you have power to the switch and then the switch has gone bad and should be replaced.
My 2004 Endeavor does not. However, I like the idea, and the lights turn off when the ignition switch is in the lock position, so I leave the headlights on all the time.
Possible bad ground, maybe the vehicle is running on the daytime running lights only bad switch, the list goes on, time to do some testing...

You can only turn off the headlights by applying the emergency brake. When the emergency brake is on, the headlights will not light. Otherwise the best of my expererience is that they are on all the time. If you have remote start, put the emergency brake on before you leave the vehicle and when you remote start it, the headlights will not be on, but the driving lights (if switch is on) will be on as well as the parking lights.
Yes, inasmuch as they turn off when you shut off the engine and remove the ignition key; and the standard daytime running lights come on when you're driving. You have to switch from DRL to headlights with a switch, though - but in my soob I just leave my headlight switch on all the time anyway.
My '88 Prelude Si 4WS had a short in the steering column. My "guys" pulled wires to a toggle switch that they free-placed in the coin tray. It gets hot . . . But, the running lights/brake lights work independently of the headlights!
No, it's not, it's no more illegal than having your daytime running lights on.
vehicles equipped with day time running lights are designed to have the running lights on when the vehicle is running in gear.the only time you can change that is by turning on the headlights, or turning off the ignition. some running lights go out when the transmission is put into park. ( the only way to change that is by manually disabling the lights, like cutting wires, or breaking bulbs)
This can be due to a bad headlight switch. If it goes bad, most of the time you have no dash lights or headlights
