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....
