Messed up my fog lights.

I have a 3rd gen Toyota 4-Runner. I have to manually turn off my fog lights before I can use high beams. Also I can't turn off the lights. This is because the 4-Runner trys to run the lights in "daylight mode". To do this it pulses the lights on and off very quickly. With incandescent bulbs the effect is to dim the lights, but with these it just causes them to flicker. Finally the 5000K color may look brighter when you see the car, but doesn't necessarily make the road brighter. It really feels like you are driving with moonlight. Now, when I have low beams on and someone flashes their brights at me I can't flash my brights back. The effect is that rather than going to high beam, my fog lights just turn off. Now with low beam AND my fog lights on its not so bad since my fog lights add a small amount of yellow color which makes for a more natural view.
