All this talking about the headlights and I couldn't stand it any longer. Hooked up the battery and guess what.......they work, and they are bright.
I will also confirm that the fog lights work too with only one resistor..

bright lights... fuzzy pic....lol trying to get the pic before the lights flipped up....

I think another relay at wired near the current Relay will accomplish the same thing as the resistors, but eliminates the load of the resistors on the electrical system..

One added relay:
Cut Lt Grn on Fog light relay
Harness side of Lt Grn to Pin 86 of new Relay
Pin 85 and Pin 30 of relay to Ground (New Wire)
fog light side of LT Grn to 87a.

OK Jeff. We can do that when I install mine. :cheers:

Maybe, that relay is under the dash on the pass side I believe

no, but when a user posted this on CF, and even posted here, I thought about their fixes and looked at a couple schematics and came up with my solution.

I am planning on doing that relay change to my car, even though I I still run H4s. I need to check the FSM again to confirm my idea will work, but it should

Well you are an electrical guy so I get that. However I thought for sure you would be all over this mod as well :cheers:

Jeff, can you explain further on your statement..."Relay will accomplish the same thing as the resistors, but eliminates the load of the resistors on the electrical system.."
Always willing to learn something new, especially electrical....
Thanks...appreciated...

It is on my list. Just lower priority at the moment

Sounds good to me, whenever you get time....
