    A Prius Three doesn't have foglights. They come with Day Time Running Lights so no, you cannot run them at the same time as the headlights. :)

    But if you had foglamps, they can -only- be on when the headlamps are on.

    Let me tell ya, the OEM fogs are useless. They are 19W halogens, when lit under the LED low beams, they are as useful as lighting a candle in the bright sunny afternoon.

    To the OP, don't know if a 2006 has DRLs. If you have fogs, you should have a 2nd ring to twist on the main headlight switch.

    OE fog lights always remind me of a Kenny Wayne Shepherd song. :)

    [Chorus:]
    Hey
    Blue on black
    Tears on a river
    Push on a shove
    It don't mean much

    Joker on jack
    Match on a fire
    Cold on ice
    A dead man's touch
    Whisper on a scream
    Doesn't change a thing
    Don't bring you back
    Blue on black
    Oh yeah, blue on black
