Possible to code fogs without headlights?

I spent some time digging through my car's brains today looking for an option that would allow me to have the fog lights on without the headlights being on. I have OSS style angels, which are very bright, and I prefer the look of them with just the rings lit and not the headlights. I was looking for a way to do this and also have the fogs on. Currently, when I turn fogs on the headlights also turn on by default.

Obviously, this is for daytime and dusk, not when it's completely dark out.

I have this setup on my E90 lci halogens. Code in the fog lights as DRL's and so that they are always on. This way when your switch is in auto mode, your rings will be on and the fog lights as well but not the low beams

Cool, I will try this tomorrow. Is there an option in one of the modules to use fogs as DRL's that I just have to make "Aktiv?"

It's an 08. I'm not sure which module it has. When I was going through the bulb checks today I was in FRM/NFRM. I'm installing LCI tails in the morning, and I went through to code out all the checks that would cause flickering.
