Auto Fog Lamps?

Has anyone been able to wire the Fog Lamps to come on with the Auto Headlamps? I like to always run my fog lamps at night with my headlamps. But, you have to then switch them on manually. I don't mind doing this (I've done it for years on other cars). However, you end up having to cycle through the Auto position which turns the Xenon headlamps on, off, then on again. This is not good for the Xenon headlamps. Any ideas?

Hi - I'm not sure what the concensus is in the US but here in the UK it's frowned upon to run fog lamps when it's not foggy or visability is not seriously reduced (heavy rain etc). This is because the fog lamps blind oncoming traffic when they get in range of the (short) beam because it does not have any 'dipping' on it.

Technically possible yes - but I'd question the use of it myself.
