[Healeys] Fog-Driving Light Wiring

[Carr&Edwards]

That is the way the auxiliary lights on our MGB/GT are designed to work. 
The pair of lights is controlled by a single rocker switch.  When the switch 
is in the "on" position, the fog light is on if the low beams are on; if you 
turn on the high beams, the fog light goes out and the driving light comes 
on.  (At least that's what the owner's handbook says--we don't have the 
extra lights installed.  Wonder what British engineer thought up this 
arrangement ???)  And, of course, the way you actually use them depends on 
your state law....
