You need to use the "Z"-shaped shunt for 2-reflector systems
and the Euro headlight switch to have simultaneous hi-beam &
foglight operation. I bought mine from Timmons VW for about
$73 plus shipping (Euro switch & Z-shaped shunt). At the relay/
fuse box, you will need to pull 2 relays - one which kills the
DRL feature and the other is the foglight relay, where the
shunt will be placed.
